Answer: Nose can easily be fractured

Step-by-step explanation: Cartilage is a soft bone that can be found in various parts of the body e.g. ears and nose. If we replace cartilage with a bone in the nose, as a result chances of fracture increases, if something hard would hit the nose.

Elastic cartilage is found in our nose. It has two components water ( 85%) and matrix (that consist of collagens, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins)
