draw the external nose and label it. root, dorsum, tip, ala, nostril, septum and philtrum

1 of 29
what makes up the roof of the ethmoid bone
the cribriform plate and crista galli (+anterior cranial fossa)
2 of 29
what makes up the lateral wall of the ethmoid bone
superior and middle conchae, ethmoidal air cells, orbital plate of ethmoid (+inferior conchae)
3 of 29
What makes up the septum of the ethmoid bone
perpendicular plate of ethmoid (+vomer)
4 of 29
what le front fractures can fracture the cribriform plate
le fort 2 and 3
5 of 29
why is a septal haematoma incised and drained
to prevent avascular necrosis of the septal hyaline cartilage which depends on diffusion of nutrients from its attached nasal mucosa
6 of 29
what kind of mucosa do the nasal cavities have
1. keratinised stratified squamous epithelium. 2. repertory epithelium 3. olfactory mucosa
7 of 29
what's the olfactory blub
ganglion. cell bodies of 2nd neurones.
8 of 29
where does the olfactory tract end
in the temporal bone
9 of 29
what is the nasal cavity innervated by
CN V. ophthalmic CN V1- anterosuperiorly Maxillary CN V2- posteroinferiorly
10 of 29
what is the blood supply of the nasal cavity
from both - external and internal carotid arteries. external: facial and maxillary Internal: ophthalmic
11 of 29
via what arteries does the ophthalmic, maxillary and facial artery supply. blood to nasal cavities
ophthalmic: via anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries. maxillary artery: via sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries. Facial: via septal branch of superior labial artery/ lateral nasal branch of facial
12 of 29
what is kiesselbach's area
an arterial anastomosis on the nasal septum. a common site of epistaxis
13 of 29
what are meatuses and give some examples
spaces under each concha. sphenoethmoidal, superior middle and inferior
14 of 29
what are paranasal sinuses
air filled spaces within bones
15 of 29
how many sinuses in the frontal bone, maxillae, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone
frontal bone- 2 front sinuses separated by bony septum. maxillae: 2 maxillary sinuses. ethmoid: 2 sets of ethmoidal air cells. sphenoid: 1 or 2 sphenoidal sinuses
16 of 29
what are the sinuses lined by
by mucous secreting respiratory mucosa
17 of 29
via what does the mucous drain into the nasal cavities
via ostia in the lateral walls of the nasal cavities
18 of 29
where does the sphenoidal sinus , ethmoidal cells , the frontal sinus and the maxillary sinus drain
sphenoidal- into the sphenoethmoidal recess. ethmoidal cells: into the superior and middle meatuses. frontal sinus: into the middle meatus. maxillary: into the middle meatus
19 of 29
what is the lacrimal fluid drainage
lacrimal gland produces tears, wash over eye, drain into nasolacrimal duct, which drain into inferior meatus of nasal cavity
20 of 29
what is sinusitis and what are the causes
inflammation of the mucosa of paranasal. infection, allergy and autoimmune issues
21 of 29
how does the cilia play a part in. sinusitis
cilia of respiratory mucosa waft mucous towards ostia. cold weather/ smoking can. interfere with cilia
22 of 29
how can viral. URTI play a part in sinusitis
viral URTI can cause swelling of mucosa, reducing diameter of ostia- sinuses-excess mucous produced and build up
23 of 29
why does the maxillary sinus mucous have to drain against gravity
due to maxillary sinus ostia being located superiorly in the medial wall of the sinus compared to the floor
24 of 29
extraction of a tooth may result in ..
an oro-antral fistula
25 of 29
how may a maxillary sinusitis present and why
xmaxillary sinusitis may present as “toothache” of an upper or lower tooth due to the common sensory nerve supply from CN V of :the maxilla/mandible the antral mucosa all the teeth
26 of 29
what is the nasal septum formed from
the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone & the vomer (posteriorly) and the septal cartilages (hyaline) anteriorly
27 of 29
what are the functions of nasal cavities
convey respiratory gases between atmosphere and nasopharynx warm humidify remove particulate matter special sense of smell (olfactory area) OSTIA (singular ostium)/“holes” in the recesses & meatuses of the lateral walls allow drainage of mucous from
