70
Q

Arterial supply to the nose is via what?

A

Branches of the opthalamic artery (which is a branch of ICA)

71
Q

What is the opthalmic artery a branch of?

72
Q

What clinical implication does the rich vascular supply of the nose have?

A

Epistaxis (nose bleed)

73
Q

Venous drainage of the nose is via what?

A

A venous plexus

74
Q

What are examples of structures that open into meatuses in the nose?

A

Number of structures including opening of paranasal air sinuses and the nasolacrimal duct

75
Q

What are paranasal air sinuses?

A

Air-filled extensions of the respiratory part of nasal cavity into cranial bones

76
Q

What are the functions of paranasal air sinuses?

A

Decrease weight of the skull

Increase resonance of voice

77
Q

What kind of mucosa lines paranasal air sinuses?

A

Respiratory mucosa similar to and continous with that lining the nasal cavity

78
Q

What is a clinical implication of the mucosa lining air sinuses being continuous to that lining the nasal cavity?

MIddle ethmoid air cells

82
Q

What opens into the inferior meatus?

A

Nasolacrimal duct

83
Q

What sinus has the most trouble draining its secretions into the nasal cavity?

A

Maxillary - opening is not at its most inferior part so secretions do not drain well

85
Q

What innervates the frontal air sinus?

A

Supraorbital and supratrochlear (V1)

89
Q

What does the soft palate do during deglutition?

A

Sphenoid bone

91
Q

What 2 important structures lie in the nasopharynx?

A

Collection of lymphoid tissue called adenoid or nasopharyngeal tonsil

Orifice of the pharyngotympanic (also called Eustachian tube) lies on the side-wall of nasopharynx level with floor of nose

92
Q

What is the pharyngotympanic tube also called?

A

Eustachian tube
