nose Flashcards
__part of nose is bony and __ is cartilaginous
upper 1/3 rd bony
lower 2/ 3 cartilagenous
shape of septal cartilage is ??
quadrilateral
vidian neurectomy improve the symptoms in
vasomotor rhinitis
part bw 2 nasal vestibules is called as
columella
osseocartilagenous junction on dorsum of nose is ?
rhinion
sensory epithelium from nose is derived from
neural tube
boundaries of internal nasal valve are
laterally limen nasi and inf turbinate medially nasal septum and inferiorly floor by pyriform aperture
imp of nasal valve
area of greatest constriction of respiratory tract
patency of nasal valve is checked by ?
cottle test
schneiderian membrane is lines ?
lower 2/3 rd of nasal cavity and upper1/3 rd is lined by olfactory epithelium
largest turbinate is
inferior turbinate
largest meatus is ?
inferior meatus
nasolacrimal duct opens in
inferior meatus
nasolacrimal duct is closed by
hasner duct
wht opens into middle meatus
opening of anterior grp of sinus which r maxillary sinus , frontal sinus ,and anterior ethmoidal
wht is agger nasi
curved ridge above atrium is called agger nasi it may get pneumatised from ethmoid is k/a agger nasi cell
bulla ethmoidalis represents which part of bone
middle ethmoidal air cells
which is sickel shaped bone behind middle meatus
uncinate process
wht opens into superior meatus
posterior ethmoidal cells
sphenoethmoidal recess opens into
superior meatus
name anterior ethmoidal cells
•bulla ethmoidalis •agger nasi
•haler cells
cells in floor of orbit
name posterior ethmoidal cells
onodi cells most post ethmoidal air cells related to optic nerve and int carotid artery
septum proper is formed from
•septal cartilage/quadrilateral cartilage •perpendicular plate of ethmoid •vomer #other bony contributors are •nasal spine of frontal bone •crest of Palatine bone •crest of maxilla •rostrum of sphenoid
littles area is formed from
L labial artery
E ant ethmoidal a
G greater Palatine
S sphenopalatine a
unicinate process is part of which bone
ethmoid bone
meatus r part of which bone
superior and middle turbinate r part of ethmoidal bone and inf meatus is itself a separate bone
nasal cycle is cyclical alternste nasal blockage occurring every
2-4hrs
parosmia
perversion of smell
structures seen on posterior rhinoscopy
- both chonae •post end of nasal septum •opening of eustachian tube
- posterior end of sup/middle and inf turbinates
- fossa of rosenmuller •torus tubaris
- adenoids
- roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx
IOC for paranasal sinus is
CT scan
where is sphenopalatine foramen
post end of middle turbinate points to opening of sphenopalatine foramen
it is a communication bw nadal cavity and pterygopalatibe fossa
structures passing through sphenopalatine foramen
maxillary nerve 2 branches
• nasopalatine br
•sup nasal br
• sphenopalatine br of maxillary artery
ext nose is formed from number of cartilages
3 paired +1 unpaired •paired upper lateral
•paired lower nasal
•lesser alar cartilage • unpaired septal cartilage
direction of nasolacrimal duct
downwards backwards
laterally
cause of saddle nose
H hematoma O operative T trauma (most common) S syphilis A abscess L Leprosy T tuberculosis
mcc of saddle nose
nasal trauma
crooked nose
dorsum is deviated but tip in midline
