A cavity above and behind the nose that is limited by the nasal bone and the soft and hard palate.
1This opening communicated with the nasal fossa by a fracture of the palatine and maxillary bones; the employment of an obturator was necessary.
2There were no signs of nose, nor cartilage separating the entrance of the nostrils, and the vault of the nasal fossa could be easily seen.
3The olfactory recess (OR) is a restricted space at the back of the nasal fossa in many mammals that is thought to improve olfactory function.
