The nasal bones. lie between the nasal processes of the superior 

 maxillary bones, and touch each other with their inner borders. The 

 superior short border articulates with the nasal notch of the frontal bone, 

 the inferior helps to limit the Incisura pyriformis narium. The posterior 

 surface looks toward the nasal cavity and has a groove for the Nervus 

 ethmoidalis. One or more foramina, Foramina nasalia, perforate the sub- 

 stance of the bone. 



Each nasal bone articulates with 4 hones: 2 of the cranium, the frontal 

 and ethmoid bones, and 2 of the face, the superior maxillary and opposite 

 nasal bones.
