Roof of nasal cavity is lined by what type of special mucosa
Olfactory
Nasal cavity has projections on lateral wall called what (3)
Superior turbinate
Middle turbinate
Inferior turbinate
Space inferior to each turbinate/concha is called what
Meatus
Name the space above the superior turbinate
Sphenoethmoidal recess
Inferior concha is a separate bone from the superior and middle concha, what bones are they made from
Superior and middle - ethmoid
Nose receives rich arterial supply from branches of what 2 arteries
ICA and ECA
What clinical implication does the rich vascular supply of the nose have
Epistaxis
Where to press if you have a nose bleed
Soft cartilaginous part, not the top bony part
Name branches of ICA and ECA that supply the nose (+sub branches of the branches)
ICA:
Ophthalmic a
-Anterior and posterior ethmoidal artery
ECA:
Maxillary artery
-sphenopalatine artery
What is the area called in the nose where 5 arteries anastomose
Kiesselbach’s area
General sensory and special sensory innervation of the nose
General - CN V1 & V2
Special - CN I
What are paranasal air sinuses
Air filled extensions of the resp part of nasal cavity into the cranial bones - frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, maxilla
2 functions of paranasal air sinuses
Humidify inspired air
Reduce weight of skull
5 functions of the nose
Traps dirt - immune barrier Airway passage Humidify inspired air Olfaction Drains secretions from nasal mucosa, paranasal air sinuses and nasolacrimal duct
Nasal cavity is divided into 2 by what in the midline
Nasal septum
What does the nasal cavity continue posteriorly as
Nasopharynx
What mucosa lines the paranasal air sinuses
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar with goblet cells
Clinical significance of the respiratory mucosa lining the nasal cavity also lining the paranasal sinuses
Infection can spread from nasal cavity to the sinuses –> sinusitis
Sinuses can also spread infection into orbit or cranial cavity

Salpingopharyngeus
Other name for eustachian tube
Pharyngotympanic
What happens to the adenoids after childhood
They undergo atrophy after puberty usually
Why does otitis media often present with throat infection as well
Because Eustachian tube in nasopharynx (pharynx = throat) connects with middle ear
