Nasal Cavity, PPG, Palate Flashcards
What does the nasal cavity do?
Respiration Olfaction Filtration of dust Humidification of air Drains paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal duct
Whats the name of the structure that the air enters through your nose?
Nares
What are the three parts of the roof of the nasal cavity?
frontal nasal
ethmoidal
sphenoidal
What forms the floor of the nasal cavity
palatine process of maxilla
horizontal plate of palatine bone
What forms the lateral and medial walls of the nasal cavity
lateral = conchae medial = nasal septum
In a clockwise direction, the nasal septum consists of:
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
Vomer
Septal Cartilage
What are the arteries that supply the nasal septum and where do they branch from?
septal branch of anterior/posterior ethmoidal - from opthalmic artery
septal branch of sphenopalatine - from maxillary artery
distal portion of greater palatine - from maxillary artery
What nerves serve somatic sensation to the nasal septum? Functional components?
SA
Anterior ethmoidal (V1)
Nasopalatine (V2)
Internal branch of infraorbital nerve (V2)
Posterior superior/inferior medial nasal nerves (V2)
What nerve supplies special sense of smell to the nasal septum? Functional component?
CN I
SS-smell
What regulates blood flow?
Sym/post fibers
What provides secretomotor innervation of the mucous glands in the nasal septum?
Para/post fibers of the PPG
What are the four air channels that form between the concha
Sphenoethmoidal recess
Superior meatus
Middle meatus
Inferior meatus
What are the arteries that supply the lateral walls of the nasal cavity and where do they branch from?
Posterior/anterior ethmoidal from the opthalmic artery
Lateral nasal from facial artery
Sphenopalatine from maxillary artery
What supplies somatic sensation to the lateral wall? Functional components?
SA
Anterior ethmoidal (V1)
Internal branch of the infraorbital (V2)
Posterior superior/inferior lateral nasal (V2)
What supplies the special sense of smell to the lateral wall? Functional component?
SS-smell
CN I
What regulates the blood flow?
Sym/post fibers
What supplies secretomotor innervation to the mucosal glands of the lateral wall? Functional components?
Para/pre fibers from the PPG
What are paranasal sinuses?
Air filled extensions of the respiratory portion of the nasal cavity
What are the 4 paranasal sinuses?
Frontal
Ethmoid
Sphenoid
Maxillary
What is the course of the frontal sinus drainage?
Drains through the frontalnasal duct
Where do the anterior ethmoidal air cells drain?
Drain into the middle meatus via the ethmoidal infundibulum
Where do the middle ethmoidal air cells drain?
Middle meatus via the ethmoidal bulla
Where do the posterior ethmoidal air cells drain?
Directly into the superior meatus
Where does the sphenoid sinus drain
Directly into the sphenoethmoidal recess
