S02: Fracture of skull and facial bones
S02.2: Fracture of nasal bones
The bones in the skull are called cranial bones. The cranial bones include the jaw bones, which the teeth sit in. The cranial bones also protect the brain and the sensory organs in the head. These sensory organs include the eyes and nose, for example.
The nasal bone is the bone at the bridge of the nose. You can feel the nasal bone at the bridge of your nose. If your nasal bone is broken you can have problems breathing.
