AB  - The  nose  is  an  osteocartilaginous  vault  that  is  divided  into  two  chambers  by  the  median  septum.  Its  inner  surfaces  are  lined  by  mucous  membranes  and  its  outer  surfaces  are  covered  with  skin.  The  important  external  landmarks  include  the  glabella,  nasion,  dorsum,  lower  tip  including  the  tip,  nostrils,  columella,  nasolabial  angle,  alae  and  alar  grooves  (Figure  10–1).  The  quality  of  the  skin  is  a  major  factor  in  determining  the  final  appearance  after  rhinoplasty.  Skin  varies  in  its  thickness,  presence  of  sebaceous  glands,  and  subcutaneous  fat.  The  vestibule  is  the  inferior  cavity  of  the  nose.  It  is  lined  with  hair  follicles  called  vibrissae  and  sebaceous  glands.  In  the  vestibule,  the  stratified  squamous  epithelium  of  the  nares  transitions  to  mucosa.  It  is  in  this  region  of  the  nose  that  air  filtration,  warming,  and  humidification  are  begun.
