Between the nose bridge and glabella (region between eyebrows), the nose is attached superiorly to the forehead via the root, with the nasion being the indentation at the frontonasal suture where the frontal and nasal bones meet. The nasal ridge (dorsum) runs from the root to the tip of the nose. The ala (wings) are cartilaginous and flares inferolaterally to wrap around the nares (nostrils).
