A nostril (or naris / ˈnɛərɪs /, pl.: nares / ˈnɛəriːz /) is either of the two orifices of the nose. They enable the entry and exit of air and other gasses through the nasal cavities.
Also known as “accessory cartilage,” these tiny structures support and shape the nostril base. Together with the major alar cartilage, they help keep the nostrils stable and functional, maintaining their proper shape and appearance.
The meaning of NOSTRIL is either of the external nares; broadly : either of the nares with the adjoining passage on the same side of the septum. How to use nostril in a sentence.

Nostril is the common name for the two anterior nares [1] (singular: naris) – the external openings in human nose that leads to the nasal cavity [2]. They are the connection between air in the environment and the airways, through the posterior or internal nares, the inner opening of the nasal cavity into the pharynx [9].
The nostril, also known as the anterior nare, is the external opening of the nose that allows air to pass into the nasal cavity. Each nostril is part of the external nose and is anatomically designed to facilitate airflow while providing filtration and structural support.
The nostril is the external opening of the nasal cavity, which is part of the respiratory system. The nose has two nostrils, separated by a septum made of cartilage. These openings serve as the entry point for air into the respiratory tract.
