The nasal septum is composed of bone and hyaline cartilage. Which specific cartilage and bones compose the septum?
a. Septal nasal, perpendicular plate of ethmoid, palatine
b. Septal nasal, perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer
c. Major alar cartilage, perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer
Option b (Septal nasal, perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer) would be the appropriate choice.
Explanation:
Septal cartilage and therefore its bulbous articulations form that nasal septum.
Those other cartilage articulations have included the nasal bones, their ethmoid (PPE) perpendicular layer, vomer, as well as the maxillary crest, forming a septum with either a mosaic design.
The other options are given aren't connected to the instance provided. So, choice b seems to be the right answer.
