nose and paranasal sinuses Flashcards
upper 1/3rd of nose has what mucosa
olfactory mucosa
olfactory mucosa has special receptors called
olfactory cells
the external nose framework is made up of
partly bone and partly cartilaginous
bones involved in making of external nose
nasal bone, frontal process of maxilla
cartilages involved in making of external nose
inferior and superior nasal cartilages
septal cartilage and alar cartilages
skin over the external nose is supplied by
external nasal, infratrochlear, infraorbital nerve
the roof of nasal cavity is made up of
- the middle horizontal part is made up of cribriform plate of ethmoid
- anterior slope is made up of nasal part of frontal bone, nasal bone and nasal cartilages
- posterior slope is made up of inferior surface of the body of sphenoid
the floor of the nasal cavity is made up of
palatine process of the maxilla and horizontal plate of the palatine bone
which sinus is common for infections
maxillary sinus
csf rhinorrhea
fracture of cribriform plate cause rupture of meninges and may cause rupture of olfactory nerve rootlets and leakage of csf into nasal cavity
what is nasal septum and what membreane does it have?
osteocartilaginous partition which makes the median wall of one nasal cavity and it has mucous membrane
bones and cartilages involved in making of nasal septum
BONES:
- vomer
- perpendicular plate of ethmoid and margins from nasal spine of frontal bone, rostrum of sphenoid, nasal crest of nasal bone and palatine and maxillary bones
arterial supply of nasal septum:
anteriorsuperior part
anterior and posterior ethmoidal artery
arterial supply of nasal septum:
anteroinferior part
labial branch of facial artery
arterial supply of nasal septum:
posteriorsuperior part
sphenopalatine artery (main artery)
arterial supply of nasal septum:
posteriorinferior part
greater palatine artery
kiesselbach’s plexus
at the anterior inferior part the septum has anastomoses b/w labial branch of facial artery, greater palatine, sphenopalatine to form a plexus called as kiesselbach’s plexus which is prone to epistaxis
venous drainage of septum
venous drainage is from littles area
anteriorly into facial vein
posteriorly into sphenopalatine vein to pterygoid venous plexus
general nerve supply of septum is done by
arsises from trigeminal nerve
nerve supply of nasal septum anteriorsuperior
internasal anterior ethmoidal nerve
