Oral and Nasal Cavity (complete) Flashcards
What are the parts of the lip
- Vermillion Zone
- Vermillion border
- Lower lip
- Upper lip
- Tubercle
- Labial commisure
What is the vermillion zone
The whole area that the lips cover
What is the vermillion border
The outline of your lips
What is the tubercle of the lips
The bump right in the middle of the upper lip
What is the labial commisure
the corners of your mouth
From which arch do the mandibular and maxillary prominences come from
The 1st arch
What are the steps of formation of the nose and nasal cavity
- The nasal/olfactory placode forms
- The medial and lateral nasal prominences develop around the nasal pit
- The nasal pit invaginates further dorsally
- The nasal prominences converge to form the nasal sac
- The nasal sac continues to invaginate dorsally above the stomadeum
- the oronassal membrane degrades and ruptures, the oral and nasal cavity are joined, forming the Choanae
- The primary palate is formed
- The nasal conchae form.
What is the Nasal pit
an Ectodermal invagination
What germ layer is the Nasal sac made from
Ectoderm
What is the Choanae
The shared cavity between the nasal and oral cavities
What causes the formation of the sinuses?
Diverticulations from the nasal cavity (Outgrowths from the nasal cavity)
What are the four sinuses of the face
- Maxillary
- Ethmoid
- Frontal
- Sphenoid
When do the sinuses completely form
from late pregnancy to years after birth
What are the purposes of the sinuses
- Humidify air
- speech
- Lightens the skull while maintaining strength
What kind of cells make up the epithelium in the nasal cavity and sinuses
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia
and goblet cells
What is the lamina propria in relation to the nasal cavity and sinuses
it is the layer of vascularized connective tissue just below the pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
Why is the epithelium of the nasal cavity and sinuses pseudostratified columnar with cilia
- because it can easily replace lost cells
2. because the cilia help move mucus and debris
What do the goblet cells in the nasal cavity and sinuses do
they secrete mucosa
How does the epithelium of the sinuses differ from the nasal epithelium
It has thinner mucosa than the nasal cavity, with fewer goblet cells
How sensitive to infection are the nasal cavity and sinuses
very sensitive to infection
What is the philtrum
the little indentation directly between the base of your nose and directly above the center of your lips
