Bone
Nasal bones
Two small plates forming the upper third of the nasal dorsum, meeting the frontal bone at the nasion and ending inferiorly at the rhinion, where the cartilaginous dorsum takes over.
What it is

How the Codex reads it
Detail's nose region camouflages a dorsal hump or supports a low tip along the midline only; the lateral nasal walls are excluded. READ item A2 reads the nasofrontal and nasolabial angles that route here or to the pyriform region depending on anatomy.
Safety anatomy
Dorsal nasal artery and the anastomosis toward the ophthalmic system at the radix: the midline, on periosteum, is the discipline.

Every number in this atlas cites the study it came from. The full method, including what this site withholds on purpose, is on sources and method.
This site teaches one level above the Codex's working manual: the architecture is public, the coordinates are not. This page withholds entry points, landmark constructions, volumes and read-to-point routing, exactly as the atlas does. What is shown and what is withheld.
