    The Interior of the Nose. The Framework. The interior of the nose con- sists of two wedge-shaped cavities extending from the nostrils in front to the nasopharynx behind. The boundaries of these cavities are as follows: The FLOOR consists of the palate process of the superior maxillary bones and the palate process of the palate bones posteriorly. Fig. 1.
