Q

How do ethmoidal bulla play a role in frontal sinus drainage?

A

When frontal sinus drainage gets to the middle meatus of nasal cavity, it empties ANTERIOR to the ethmoidal bulla

Q

The ethmoidal bulla is an outpocketing of ____

A

middle ethmoidal air cells

34
Q

What is creating the “groove” of semilunar groove

A

bottom of groove is because of UNCINATE PROCESS OF ETHMOID BONE

35
Q

A

3

36
Q

In coronal section, the maxillary sinus appears ___

A

pyramidal

37
Q

The superior wall of maxillary sinus separates __ from the maxillary sinus

A

orbit

38
Q

The medial wall of maxillary sinus separates __ from the maxillary sinus

A

nasal cavity

39
Q

The lateral wall separates __ from the maxillary sinus

A

infratemporal fossa

40
Q

What are the 3 walls of the maxillary sinus?

A

superior wall
medial wall
lateral wall

41
Q

What is the opening for maxillary sinus drainage?

A

maxillary ostium

42
Q

What is the maxillary ostium?

A

the opening for maxillary sinus drainage

43
Q

The maxillary ostium opens into the ___

A

middle meatus of the nasal cavity

44
Q

Roots of maxillary teeth may project into the ___ sinus

A

maxillary sinus

45
Q

Roots of maxillary teeth projecting into maxillary sinus are covered with ___

A

mucoperiosteum

46
Q

What is mucoperiosteum? What does it cover?

A

covers roots of maxillary teeth that project into the maxillary sinus

47
Q

If roots of maxillary teeth project into maxillary sinus, this can lead to 2 clinical situations. What are they?

A
  1. infection spreads from decayed tooth -> sinus

2. extraction of tooth tears sinus membrane

48
Q

A tooth that’s roots projected into maxillary sinus was extracted. What does this lead to?

What are the symptoms?

A

This can lead to a torn maxillary sinus membrane

producing a FISTULA between the mouth and maxillary sinus

symptoms: patient cannot blow cheeks out because air from mouth escapes into max sinus -> nasal cavity

49
Q

What produces a fistula between the mouth and maxillary sinus?

A

extracting a tooth whose roots were projecting into maxillary sinus

leads to patient unable to “blow cheeks out” bc air escapes through paranasal sinus pathways

50
Q

The ___ of the ethmoid contributes to the bottom part of the semilunar groove

A

uncinate process

51
Q

___ anchors the ethmoidal air cells (sinus) into the superior sagittal sinus

A

crista galli

52
Q

The crista galli of the ethmoid anchors __ to __

A

the ethmoidal air cells to the superior sagittal sinus

53
Q

Anterior air cells drain into __
Middle air cells drain into __
posterior air cells drain into __

A

anterior - semilunar hiatus
middle - bulla
posterior - superior meatus

54
Q

How many sphenoid sinuses are there?

A

although it is technically “paired” (2) it can be sub-compartmentalized

so it can be from 2-7

55
Q

What is the opening for drainage for the sphenoid sinus?

A

sphenoidal sinus opening

56
Q

What does the sphenoidal sinus opening drain into?

A

Anterior ethmoidal nerve branches into ____

A

external nasal branch
septal branch

What are the 2 main branches from CN V2 providing general sensory to the nasal cavity

A

supplying general sensation to nasal cavity

A

branch off of CN V2

branches into:

A

CN V2

69

A

CN V2: INFRAORBITAL BRANCHES provide general sensation to paranasal sinuses

  • ASA
  • MSA
  • External/internal branches
70
Q

Parasympathetics to paranasal sinuses come from ____ in the brain

A

superior salivary nucleus

71
Q

From superior salviary nucleus, parasympathetics to paranasal sinus go to ___

A
