nasal bone

The nasal bones are the two bones that side by side form the bridge of the nose.

The two nasal bones are fused and the fusion line between the two bones is called the internasal suture. Usually the structure of the two nasal bones is simply called "nasal bone" (singular). In the above picture, the nasal bone can clearly be seen.

The nasal bone borders on (articulate with) the following other bones:

• frontal bone
• ethmoid bone
• maxilla bone
