What is the membranous septum?
The septum is the wall dividing the nose into two nasal channels. At the very back, the septum is made of bone. About half way towards the nostrils it changes to cartilage. Between the end of the septum and the cartilage struts (called the medial curae) which make up the columella (the fleshy part below the nose and between the nostrils) there is a short segment called the membranous septum. It is called this because it is made up of the two intranasal membranes aposing eachother.
