They are formed from hyaline cartilage and responsible for maintaining the shape of the flexible part of the external nose and vestibule and consist of five named cartilages: two lateral (or upper) cartilages[;] two alar (greater or lower) cartilages [and] a single midline septal cartilage which contributes to the nasal septum.
