columella[edit]

"The nasal septum, sometimes also called columella...": IMO, nasal septum and columella are not synonyms, but columella is the lower (fleshy) border of the nasal septum (see e.g. http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/columella and other medical dictionaries).

Mradyfist[edit]

Is piercing of the septum really all that common? It seems fairly rare to me. Also, shouldn't it be "in teenage years" instead of "and teenage years"?

Nose picking[edit]

Is this mention a case of vandalism or is this part for real? It sounds just not right to this layman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.153.51.43 (talk) 20:08, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

function?[edit]

this article does not explain the purpose/benefit of having the nostril separation, or other function of the nasal septum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 (talk) 06:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Ossification of vomer[edit]

I have proposed this merge, between the 'ossification' page and this article, because:

There is no need for the information on ossification to be hidden away on a separate article. This means the information is not presented as it could be, and it is needlessly fragmented.
It is standard on Anatomy pages, and recommended in WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy, for 'Development' sections to be displayed on the same page.
Additionally, this page is small and it would give more context to have the information displayed in a central location, rather than hidden on a separate article.
If necessary, the article on ossification could be expanded at a later date. LT910001 (talk) 07:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
