18
Q

What is superior to the superior meatus?

A

sphenoethmoidal recess

19
Q
A

A = opening of pharyngotympanic tube
B = nasopharynx

20
Q
A

A = superior meatus
B = middle meatus
C = inferior meatus

21
Q
A

Sphenoethmoidal recess

22
Q
A

A = opening of the pharyngotympanic tube
B = nasopharynx

23
Q
A

A = middle conchae
B= middle meatus
C = inferior conchae
D = inferior meatus
E = ethmoidal sinus

24
Q

What is the most important meatus?

A

Middle

25
Q

Why is the middle meatus the most important?

A

Lots of the sinuses open into the middle meatus

26
Q

What are 3 structures associated with the middle hiatus?

A

Ethmoidal infundibulum

Hiatus emilunaris

Ethmoidal bulla

Maxillary sinus

27
Q
A

A = infundibulum
B = bulla ethmoidalis
C = hiatus semilunar
D = spheno-ethmoidal recess

28
Q

What sinus is this and in the case of an infection, where would the infection drain to?

A

Middle meatus via the infundibulum opening

29
Q

This is the opening of what sinus?

A

Maxillary sinus

30
Q

What sinus is this, and where is it draining to?

A

Posterior ethmoidal cells into the lateral wall of superior meatus

31
Q
A

Opening of nasolacrimal duct

32
Q

What sinus is circled, and where does it drain into?

A

Sphenoidal sinus, drains into the spheno-ethmoidal recess

33
Q

Do sinuses drain into the inferior meatus?

A

No, only excess tears from the nasolacrimal duct
