Identify the cartilaginous portion of the external nose. The shape of the nose is determined by the paired, U-shaped alar cartilages that lie laterally to the median, unpaired septal cartilage [probe]. The alar cartilages are the principal elements in the formation of the nares or nostrils. At the superior border of septal cartilage, identify the paired lateral nasal cartilages [probe].
