nasal mucosa
Nasal mucosa is firmly connected to the ___ of the bony parts of the nasal cavity and the ____ of the cartilaginous nasal compartments
periostium; perichondrium
The areas lined with nasal mucosa constitute the ___ area (inferior 2/3) and the ___ area (superior 1/3)
respiratory; olfactory
The olfactory area has specialized nasal mucosa that contains the peripheral nerve endings from the ___ nerve for special sense ____
olfactory; olfaction
List the boundaries of the nasal cavity
roof: frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone
floor: palatine process of maxilla, horizontal plate of palatine bone
medial wall: nasal septum, septal cartilage, nasal crests of maxillary & palatine bones
lateral wall: superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae
Divide the nasal cavity into 4 passages
- spheno-ethmoidal recess (opening of sphenoid sinus)
- superior nasal meatus (openings of ethmoidal sinuses)
- middle nasal meatus (opening of frontal sinus)
- inferior nasal meatus (opening of nasolacrimal duct)
