Nose, Larynx & Trachea Flashcards
Bony skeleton of nose consists of
Nasal bones
Frontal process of maxilla
Describe nerve supply of nose.
CN 5
Infratrochlear and external nasal branches from ophthalamic.
Infraorbital from maxillary.
Describe arterial supply of external nose
Ophthalamic artery (dorsal & external nasal)
Lateral nasal and infraorbital from maxillary artery.
Facial artery to skin of ala
Locate the nasal cavity
Between the two orbits, below middle of anterior cranial fossa & above hard palate.
Mention regions of nasal cavity
Nasal vestibule, respiratory region & olfactory region.
Locate the olfactory region
Apex of each nasal cavity
Roof of nasal cavity consists of
Bony part of nose, ciribriform plate of ethmoid, sphenoid bone.
Nasal septum bony part is
Vomer and perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone.
Bones of lateral wall of nasal cavity
Ethmoid, maxilla & perpendicular plate of palatine bone.
Bone forming sup, mid & inf conchae
Sup+ mid = ethmoid
Inf is a seperate bone
Superior meatus recieves
Opening of posterior ethmoidal sinus
Bulla ethmoidalis recieves ….
Middle ethmoidal sinus
Hiatus semi-lunaris receives ….. anteriorly & …..posteriorly.
A: frontal air sinus & anterior ethmoidal air sinus.
P: maxillary air sinus.
Inferior meatus recieves …..
Nasolacrimal duct
Spheno-ethmoidal recess receives ……
Sphenoid air sinus
Areas of nose supplies by greater palantine artery.
Lateral wall: antero-inferior and postero-inferor.
Nasal septum: postero-inferior.
Areas of nose supplied by sphenopalatine
Lateral wall: postero-superior.
Nasal septum: postero-inferior.
Blood supply of anteri-superior aspect of nasal septum
Anterior ethmoidal & superior labial arteries
What is the area with extensive anastomosis in nose, and its clinical appliccation?
Anterior part of medial wall
This is the area where epistaxis occurs the most.
Venous drainage of nose
Facial vein, pharyngeal & pterygoid plexuses
Lymph drainage of nasal cavity
Vestibule to submandibular lymph nodes & remainder to upper deep cervical nodes
Mention regions in nasal cavity supplied by pterygopalatine ganglion
Posterior part of lateral wall & postero-inferior aspect of nasal septum.
