What are the 3 regions that the nasal cavity is divided into?
- olfactory region
- respiratory region
- nasal vestibule
What is the nose split by?
- nasal septum (cartilage)
What are choanae?
- openings at the back of the nose
Label this image
What is the spheno-ethmoidal recess?
- connection between the sphenoid bone and the ethmoid bone
What is the cell type found in the meatuses?
- pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium

What are the 4 cartilages of the nose?
- nasal septal (lateral and septal processes)
- Major alar (medial and lateral crus)
- Minor alar
- Alar fibrofatty tissue
Which structures open into the three meatuses?
- superior : posterior ethmoidal sinus
- middle : frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoidal sinuses
- inferior : nasolacrimal duct, eustachian tube
What are the paired and unpaired bones that make up the nasal septum?
- Paired bones: Nasal, maxillary and palatine bones.
- Unpaired bones: Ethmoid and vomer bones.
What is the frontonasal duct?
- connection between the frontal bone and nasal cavity
What does the frontonasal duct drain via?
- the infundibulum between the superior and middle nasal concha
Label 1-25
What are the 6 ethmoidal structures?
- Crista galli (attachment of the falx cerebri)
- Cribriform plate (has all the olfactory nerves)
- Perpendicular plate
- Superior nasal concha
- Middle nasal concha
- Uncinate process
What is found on the lower part of the uncinate process?
- opening into the maxillary sinus
Label this image
Where does the nasolacrimal canal open into?
- inferior concha
Label this image
Label this image
Where does the frontal sinus drain into?
- ethmoidal
What is the only way in and out of the maxillary sinus?
- uncinate process
If the maxillary sinus is inflamed then where can it caused pain?
- referred pain along alveolar nerve
What is the cell type of the lining of the sinuses?
- pseudo stratified columnar epithelium
What forms the medial walls of the orbits?
- middle ethmoidal cells and the bulla ethmoidali
What does the perpendicular plate attach to?
- vomer bone
Label this image
What muscle causes frowning and where is it?
- procerus
- between orbits
Where does the procerus attach?
- onto the glabella
Where does the nasalis muscle run?
- over the nasal bone
Label this image
Where is the nasalis muscle attached and what does it surround?
- attached to the maxilla
- surrounds the fibrofatty cartilage of the naris
What is the function of the levator muscle?
- lift nose up (scrunch it/ addison rae)
What is the torus tubaris?
- opening of the auditory tube which connects the middle ear cavity to the back of the nasopharynx
Label this image
What is the limen nasi?
- ridge after the nasal vestibule
What is the semilunar hiatus?
- space between the uncinate process and the ethmoid bulla
Where does the nasolacrimal duct open?
- inferior nasal meatus
Label this image
What is the foramen caecum and where is it found?
- embryological remnant at the back of the tongue
Where is the lingual tonsil?
- at the back of the tongue
What is the ethmoid supplied by?
- anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries
Where do the ethmoidal arteries originate?
- branches of opthalmic which originate from the circle of willis
What does the maxillary artery supply?
- deep structures of the face, such as the mandible, maxilla, teeth, muscles of mastication, palate, nose
What is the ophthalmic artery a branch of?
- internal carotid
What is Littleโs area?
- An area on the nasal septum where branches of facial, maxillary and ophthalmic arteries anastomose
- common site of โnose-bleedsโ
How is the oral cavity divided?
- oral vestibule (small space between lips and teeth)
- oral cavity proper (space between teeth and gums)
- oropharynx (C2-C3)
Behind which arch is the palatine tonsil located?
the palatoglossal arch
