Anatomy Flashcards
Blood supply to the external nose
Skin of the external nose — ophthalmic / maxillary
Skin of the lower part of the sputum and ala — facial artery
Nerve supply of the external nose :
Ophthalmic nerve — infratrochlear / external nasal branch
Maxillary nerve— infraorbital
Cranial Nerve 5
The type of the cartilage making the external nose is
Hyaline cartilage
Bones of the external nose
Nasal bone
Frontal process of the maxilla
Nasal part of the frontal bone
The nasal part that leads to the nasopharyngeal part
Posterior nasal apertures—- choanae
is the area of the nasal cavity lying just inside the nostril.
nasal vestibule
The space below each
concha is called
meatus
Sphenoethmoidal Recess
- is a small area above the superior concha
- receives the opening of the sphenoid air sinus.
Superior Meatus :
receives the openings of the posterior ethmoid sinuses
Middle Meatus :
- It has a rounded swelling called the bulla ethmoidalis that is formed by the middle ethmoidal air sinuses, which open on its upper border.
- A curved opening, the hiatus
semilunaris, lies just below the bulla. - The anterior end of the hiatus leads into a funnel-shaped channel called the infundibulum, which is continuous with the frontal sinus.
A person got a trauma in his nose , what is the suspected artery to be affected
External nose — ophthalmic , maxillary artery
Ala of the nose and the lower part of the sputum — facial artery
