Excerpt from Text-Book of Anatomy

The upper lateral cartilage (cartilago nasi lateralis, Figs. 550, 551) is triangular in shape and situated immediately below the nasal bone, to which and to the superior maxilla its thin posterior border is attached. Its anterior edge is thick and its upper part is directly continuous with the cartilage of the septum. Its lower margin is joined by fibrous tissue to the upper edge of the lower lateral cartilage.

The lower lateral cartilage (cartilago alaris major, Figs. 550, 551, 552) encircles the anterior part of the nostril and assists in keeping it open. It consists of two plates, outer and inner, which are continuous with each other in a rounded angle at the point of the nose. The outer plate, or crus laterale, is oval in shape and is attached to the upper lateral cartilage and to the superior maxilla by fibrous tissue.
