Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lowest part of the septum is a narrow strip of bone that projects from the maxilla and the palatine bones, and is the length of the septum. This strip of bone is called the maxillary crest; it articulates in front with the septal nasal cartilage, and at the back with the vomer.
Detailed explanation-2: -The septum allows the air that we breathe in through our nostrils to go directly from the tip of the nose into the back of the nose and into the lungs. Without the septum, the air that we breathe in might “get lost” in our nose; the turbulence might interfere with the direct transit of the air directly into the lungs.
