Nasal Cavity Flashcards
paranasal sinuses
frontal
sphenoid
ethmoid
maxilla
form post-natally - epithelial lined
maxillary sinuses
largest sinus
drains to middle meatus
- only one draining up**
- susceptible to infection
nerve - V2
frontal sinus
between cranial and nasal cavities
frontonasal duct to semilunar hiatus in middle meatus
nerve - V1
semilunar hiatus
in middle nasal meatus
drainage from maxillary and frontal sinuses and anterior ethmoid air cells
sphenoidal sinus
opens to sphenoethmoidal recess
nerve - V2
ethmoidal sinus
anterior, middle, posterior air cells
nerve V1
drainage of anterior ethmoid air cells
semilunar hiatus - middle nasal meatus
drainage of middle ethmoid air cells
ethmoid bulla
drainage of posterior air cells
superior nasal meatus
sinusitis
inflammation
transillumination to detect fluid
infections can spread
**maxillary most suspeceptible
maxillary teeth infection
to maxillary sinus
nares
external openings of nose
external nose
bone and cartilage
roof of nasal cavity
mainly ethmoid - cribriform plate
frontal
sphenoid
lateral wall of nasal cavity
ethmoid - superior and middle concha inferior concha maxilla palatine - perp plate lacrimal bone
concha bones?
superior and middle - ethmoid
inferior - its own bone
floor of nasal cavity
palatine bone
maxilla bone
anterior wall nasal cavity
nasal cartilages, nasal bones
nares
posterio wall of nasal cavity
open to nasopharynx via choanae
choanae
open to nasopharynx from nasal cavity
medial wall nasal cavity
nasal septum
- perpendicular plate ethmoid
- vomer
- nasal cartilage
deviated septum
can affect breathing
