Deep face I Flashcards
Features that make up the bony part of the nose
Nasal bones
Frontal process of maxilla
Nasal part of frontal bone and nasal spine
Bony part of nasal septum
Cartilagenous part of nose
2 lateral cartilages
2 alar cartilages
Septal cartilage (nasal septum)
All of the nasal cavity is lined with nasal mucosa except _____
vestibule of nose (considered an external portion)
Nasal mucosa is firmly connected to the ____ of the bony parts of the nasal cavity and the ____ of the cartilagenous nasal components
periosteum
perichondrium
The areas lined with nasal mucosa constitute the ____ and the _____
respiratory area (inferior 2/3) olfactory area (superior 1/3)
The olfactory area has specialized nasal mucosa that contains the peripheral nerve endings from the ____ nerve for ____ ____ ____
olfactory nerve (CN I) special sense olfaction (smell)
Boundaries of the nasal cavity Roof Floor Medial wall Lateral wall
Roof: frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone
Floor: palatine process of maxilla, horizontal plate of palatine bone
Medial wall: nasal septum (perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer, septal cartilage, nasal crest of maxillary and palatine bones)
Lateral wall: superior, middle and inferior nasal conchae
Nasal conchae: What are the four passages that the nasal cavity can be divided into?
- Spheno-ethmoidal recess
- superior nasal meatus
- middle nasal meatus
- inferior nasal meatus
Where does the sphenoehtmoidal recess drain into?
opening of sphenoid sinus
where does the superior nasal meatus drain into?
openings of ethmoidal sinus
Where does the middle nasal meatus drain into?
opening of frontal sinus
maxillary sinus also opens into middle nasal meatus in posterior part of semilunar hiatus at the maxillary ostium (below ethmoid bulla)
Where does the inferior nasal meatus drain into?
opening of nasolacrimal duct
What is the arterial supply to the nasal cavity?
Most blood is supplied to lateral and medial walls of nasal cavity from branches of the maxillary artery (spenopalatine a, anterior and posterior ethmoidal a, greater palatine a)
BUT also from the facial artery (superior labial a, lateral nasal branches)
What is the venous drainage from the nasal cavity?
venous drainageto spenopalatine, facial and opthalmic veins
What is the kiesselbach area?
It is the region where all five arteries come together in a capillary bed that can bleed profusely
What is the kiesselbach area?
It is the region where all five arteries (spenopalatine a, anterior & posterior ethmoidal a, greater palatine a, superior labial a, lateral nasal branches) come together in a capillary bed that can bleed profusely
Innervation of the nasal cavity
opthalmic division of trigeminal n (CN V1) and the maxillary division of trigeminal n (CN V2)
Nerve supply to the posterior 2/3 of the nasal cavity from ___ via the ____ and ____
V2 via nasopalatine n (nasal septum) and greater palatine n (lateral wall)
Nerve supply to anteriosuperior nasal mucosa of septum & lateral wall is from ___ via the _____
V1 via anterior ethmoidal nerves
- What are paranasal sinuses?
- Where are they found?
- What are paranasal sinuses lined with?
- Where do they drain into?
- Air-filled extensions of the respiratory portion of nasal cavity
- Found in frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, & maxillary bones of face
- Lined with nasal mucosa
- Drain into nasal cavity via openings in the spheno-ethmoidal recess, and superior, middle & inferior meatuses
- Maxillary sinuses arterial supply and innervation?
- How does it drain?
- What makes it unique?
- Arterial supply=superior alveolar branches of maxillary a,& greater palatine a; innervation=superior alveolar n branches
- Drainage via maxillary ostium into middle meatus
- Largest paranasal sinus
- Ethmoid sinus arterial supply and innervation
- Drainage
- Misc.
- blood supply: anterior and posterior ethmoid & sphenopalatine a
innervation: nasocilliary nerves (CN V1) - Drainage: ant & middle ethmoidal cells drain into middle meatus
post ethmoidal cells drain into middle meatus - ethmoid air cells located between orbits
- Sphnoid sinus arterial supply and innervation
- Drainage
- Misc
- posterior ethmoidal a, posterior ethmoidal n
- Drainage via spheno-ethmoidal recess
- unevenly divided by bony part of nasal septum
- Frontal sinus arterial supply and innervation
- Drainage
- Misc
- supraorbital a & anterior ethmoidal aa; supraorbital n (V1)
- Drains via frontonasal duct into semilunar hiatus of middle meatus
- bw outer & inner tables of frontal bone, posterior to supercilliary arches
