Common

18
Q

Vomeronasal organ: definition, function

A

Specialized olfactory region near Rostral base of nasal septum
Diverticulum of incisive duct that passes through palatine fissure and is open communication between oral and nasal cavities
Detection of pheromones

19
Q

Incisive duct in horses difference

A

Does not open into oral cavity

20
Q

Lip curl (flehmen) reaction

A

Distinct facial reaction made by males in response to stimulation of vomeronasal organ by female pheromones

21
Q

Main blood supply to nasal cavity (2)

A

Sphenopalatine
maxillary V2

22
Q

Terminal branch of maxillary artery

A

Descending palatine artery

23
Q

Path of Sphenopalatine artery

A

Enters Sphenopalatine foramen to reach nasal cavity

24
Q

What do branches of Sphenopalatine artery supply in nasal cavity (3)

A

Lateral nasal wall
Ventral and dorsal conchae
Middle region of nasal septum

25
Q

External ethmoidal parent artery

A

External ophthalmic

26
Q

What do branches of external ethmoidal supply in nasal cavity (3)

A

Caudal nasal septum
Dorsal aspect of nose
Ethmoturbinates

27
Q

What foramina does external ethmoidal artery pass through

A

Ethmoidal foramen
Cribriform plate

28
Q

What artery supplies Rostral septum

A

Branch of major palatine artery

29
Q

Infraorbital artery: what supplied, Anastamoses

A

External surface of nose
Anastamoses with branches of Sphenopalatine to supply ventral nasal conchae

30
Q

Sensory innervation to nasal cavity

A

Olfactory CN I
Ethmoidal branch of V1
Branches from V2

31
Q

Olfactory filaments from CN I carry

A

Chemosensory signals from olfactory region of nasal cavity through cribriform plate to cranial cavity

32
Q

Ethmoidal nerve parallels what artery

A

Ethmoidal

33
Q

Branches from maxillary nerve parallel what 2 arteries

A

Sphenopalatine
Major palatine

34
Q

Postganglionic parasympathetics: ganglion, path, what is innervated, where branches go

A

From pterygopalatine ganglion
Innervate glands embedded within nasal mucosa
Branches into orbit travel within ethmoidal nerves to supply more dorsal mucosa and turbinates

35
Q

What nerve is closely associated with pterygopalatine ganglion and hitchhikes

A

Branches of V2
