platyrrhine

Anatomy of the human nose

The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum, which consists mostly of cartilage and which separates the nostrils. On average the nose of a male is larger than that of a female. The nasal root is the top of the nose, forming an indentation at the suture where the nasal bones meet the frontal bone. The anterior nasal spine is the thin projection of bone at the midline on the lower nasal margin, holding the cartilaginous center of the nose. Adult humans have nasal hairs in the anterior nasal passage.

Definition of platyrrhine in the English dictionary

The first definition of platyrrhine in the dictionary is having widely separated nostrils opening to the side of the face. Other definition of platyrrhine is having an unusually short wide nose. Platyrrhine is also an animal or person with this characteristic.
