Nasal Cavity & Paranasal Sinuses Flashcards
respiratory epithelium
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells
number of nasal caviteis
2
location of naries of the nasal cavities
inferior
nasal cavities in relation to orbit
near the medial wall of the orbit
what paranasal sinuses exist
Frontal, number of ethmoidal, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses
where do the sinuses of the face drain
into the nasal caivity
Cartilages of the nasal cavities
large septal cartilage
2 lateral extensions from the septal cartilage(make anterior portion of the nose
2 major alar cartilage(tip of nose)
minor alar cartilages (many imbeded in modified fatty tissue
roof of nasal cavity is up against
anterior cranial fossa and cribiform plate at top of bridge of nose
roof of the nasal cavity is lined with
olfactory epithelium
what makes the floor of the nasal cavity
maxilla and palatine
what makes up the septum of the nose
anterior is the septal cartilage
posterior inferior- vomer
posterior superior- perpendicular plate of ethmoid
roof of nasal cavity
nasal bone, frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone
bones of lateral nasal wall
nasal frontal maxilla inferior concha (on the maxilla) lacrimal ethmoid( uncinate process) palatine (perpendicular plate) medial pterygoid plate of sphenoid also cartilages (vestibule and atrium space)
superior and middle cocha come from
the ethmoid bone
the spaces beneith the concha
meatus
the space above the superior cocha
spheno-ethmoidal recess
where is the frontal sinus found
within the frontal bone lateral to the midline
where does the frontal sinus drain
via the frontonasal duct/canal into infundibulum via the hiatus semilunaris to enter the middle meatus of the nasal cavity anterior to ethmoidal bulla
3 walls of the maxillary sinus
superior-the floor of the orbit
medial
lateral
the opening of the maxillary sinus where it drains
maxillary ostium into the middle meatus at the superior edge of the sinus
