29
What can the false nostril be used for
To direct nasogastric tube/endoscope into true nostril
30
Location of nasolacrimal duct opening
True nostril
31
Clin sigs of nasolacrimal duct opening
- can be blocked by polyps - tears come through duct - used in NLD Jones test - used to test for corneal ulcers
32
What connective tissue surrounds the vomer bone and helps make up the nasal septum
Hyaline cartilage (divides left and right nostrils)
33
Clin sig of nasal septum
Deviation of nasal septum
34
Name the 3 types of nasal conchae and their clin sig
1) dorsal 2) ventral 3) ethmoid Clin sig: can be injured and cause hemorrhaging during NT intubation
35
Name the 3 nasal meatuses
1) dorsal 2) middle 3) ventral
36
Clin sig of the ventral and common meatuses
Nasogastric intubation and endoscopy
37
Clin sig of ethmoid conchae
Ethmoid hematology & nasal bleeding
38
Function of nasal sinuses
Reduce weight of skull & provide expanded spaces for teeth
39
Epithelium that lines paranasal sinuses
Ciliated, glandular
40
Define paranasal sinuses
Gas filled cavities between internal and external plates of flat bones of the skull
41
Name the paranasal sinuses
1) conchofrontal 2) maxillary 3) sphenopalatine
42
Location of the sphenopalatine sinus
1) caudal to ethmoid conchae 2) dorsal to medial medial guttural pouch
43
Clin sig of the false nostril
Cover while placing a NG tuber/edndoscope to help guide into true nostril
44
Clin sig of Nasolacrimal duct
- NLD Jones test (corneal ulcers; patency test)
45
Injuries assc w/ ethmoid concha
- ethmoid hematoma - nasal bleeding
46
Function of paranasal sinuses
- reduce wt of head - provide space for teeth
47
3 paranasal sinuses
- conchofrontal - maxillary -sphenopalatine
48
Name of septum that divides rostral & caudal maxillary sinuses
Bony septum
49
Caudal portion of dorsal nasal conchae communicates w/
Frontal sinus (Conchofrontal sinus)
50
Caudal portion of ventral nasal conchae communicates with
Rostral portion of maxillary sinus over infraorbital canal
51
Sphenopalatine sinus communicates w/
Caudal maxillary sinus, then drains into nasal cavity via middle nasal meatus
52
Both ends of maxillary sinus drains into nasal cavity via
Nasomaxillary fissure
53
4 borders of maxillary sinus
Ventral: facial crest Dorsal: line from infraorbital foramen to medial canthus of eye Cranial: line from rostral point of facial crest to infraorbital foramen Caudal: rostral part of bony orbit of eye
54
How to surgically access maxillary sinus
- incise line from infraorbital foramen to medial canthus (Avoid infraorbital canal & nasolacrimal duct)
