A

nasal conchae, on the lateral walls

110
Q

A

part of maxilla and palatine bone

111
Q

T/F: The hard palate makes up the floor of the nasal cavity.

A

true

112
Q

What makes up the hard palate?

A

1) palatine process of maxilla

2) horizontal plates of palatine bone

113
Q

The tiny nerves piercing through the frontal bone into the nasal cavity are part of what system?

A

olfactory system for smell

114
Q

What is the olfactory bulb and what does it do?

A

pierces through the cribiform plate to communicate with meninges

115
Q

What do the meatuses do?

A
  • allow passageway/communication with other nasal structures (sinuses/lacrimal gland)
  • they are the spaces inbetween the conchae
116
Q

When you tear up, your nose often runs also. What structure causes this and why?

A

the inferior meatus communicates with the lacrimal sac, so when tears are produced, the inferior meatus is affected, causing mucous production

maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal

122
Q

What nerve innervates the maxillary sinus?

Q

Q

131
Q

What is CSF rhinorrhea?

fracture of the cribiform plate (where nerves come in for smell) or tearing of the meninges

132
Q

T/F: Nasal cavity infection can spread to the anterior cranial fossa.

A

loss of sense of smell because cribiform plate is probably broken, and that’s where olfactory nerves pierce through
