Lecture 32: Nasal Sinus and Palate II Flashcards
Paranasal sinuses (3)
Maxilla
Frontal
Sphenoid
Paranasal sinus definition
Pocket of non olfactory mucosa that grow out from walls of nasal cavity
Surround bones of nasal cavity
What is the largest sinus in dog and cat
Frontal
What is frontal sinus subdivided into (3)
Lateral
Medial
Rostral
What invades all 3 portions of frontal sinus
Ethmoturbinates (bones)
Maxillary sinus aka (and why)
Maxillary recess
Broad open communication instead of small opening into nasal cavity
Sphenoid sinus: definition/location, what it’s filled with in dogs
Small space within presphenoid bone
Filled with Ethmoturbinates
What adjacent bones do Paranasal sinuses also invade (3)
Palatine
Lacrimal
Nasal conchae
Why is passive drainage of maxillary sinus unlikely/impossible when animal is standing upright
Position of Foramen that drains sinus into nasal cavity
Easy for infectious materials to become trapped
Which sinus covers and protects the brain case
Frontal
Special consideration when using bullet/bolt during animal slaughter
Make sure shot is through thinnest part of frontal sinus because it covers part of brain case
Maxillary sinus is in close proximity to what bone
Alveolar portion of maxilla
Effects of proximity between maxillary sinus and alveolar portion of maxilla (4)
Overlap of sinus and distal maxillary teeth
Roots of molars and premolars can protrude into sinus during sinus and teeth growth
Transfer of infection between oral cavity/teeth and nasal cavity, complications when removing molar and premolar teeth
2 structures that divide nasal cavity from oral cavity
Hard palate
Soft palate
Hard vs soft palate
Hard = bony portion
Soft = caudal soft tissue extension
3 components/bones of hard palate
Incisive bone
Maxilla
Palatine
What 2 foramina are part of the hard palate
Major and minor palatine foramina
Characteristic of mucosa covering hard palate
Highly keratinized
Rugae: definition, location, function
Hard palate
Transverse ridges in mucosa typically with slight caudal angulation that helps direct food caudally in oral cavity
Incisive papilla: definition, location
Hard palate
Raised bump directly caudal to central incisors
Dental pad: definition, location, species
Hard palate
Extra thick and tough mucosa that serves in place of upper incisors
Cattle
