Internal surface

Facies interna

Definition

The internal surface (Facies interna) of the nasal bone is more or less concave from side to side; it forms the roof of the nasal cavity and, in some species, to the frontal sinus by its caudal part. It is crossed by a longitudinal crest, the ethmoidal crest (Crista ethmoidalis) on which the dorsal nasal concha is attached.
