nasal vestibule - (pronounced) (NAY-zul VEH-stih-byool) The area just inside the nostril (nostril) that leads into the nasal cavity. The nasal vestibule is supported by nasal cartilage and is lined with tissue containing short, coarse hairs. These hairs help filter dust and other particles so they don't get into the lungs
