Q

20
Q

meatus in your nose?

A

the groove underneath a nasal conche

21
Q

greater and lesser palatine nerves are branches of?

22
Q

where does the external nasal branch come from?

A

anterior ethmoidal from V1 (remember the nasociliary gave off some branches to the nose?)

23
Q

sensory to the mucosa of the nose. CN?

24
Q

besides V, what CN is in the nose?

A

don’t think too hard. olfactory

25
lesser palatine nerve is sensory to?
SOFT palate.
26
CN for sensory of palate?
V2. you know this stuff!!
27
where does the maxillary sinus drain?
when you're sick, your nose runs. all of the sinuses drain to the nose!!
28
why do kids get ear infections?
the eustacian tube is horizontal between the ear and the nose. since theres not an incline, crap can get into the middle ear.

why do you have turbinates?
it creates TURBulance to warm and moisten air

trick question!!! it is its own bone
32
INFERIOR nasal concha is part of what bone?
another trick question!!! it is its own bone too

SUPERIOR nasal conca is part of what bone?
ethmoid.
34
what bones articulate with vomer?
palatine bones, ethmoid, maxilla. not sure if thats all of them
35
where does the sphenoidal sinus drain.
into the nose, but it goes into the spheno-ethmoidal recess
36
where does the frontal sinus empty? how does it get there?
to nose through ethmoidal bulla into middle meatus
37
relationship of openings to maxillary sinus and frontal sinus
the ethmoidal bulla is superior and anterior to the opening for maxillary sinus
38
where does nasolacrimal duct open?
beneath the inferior nasal conche
39
special name for the space that has the openings for anterior ethmoidal cells
similunar hiatus
40
your kid gets a pea stuck up their nose, so you look up there. what do you see.
a pea. on the other side, you should be able to see the inferior and middle conchae. NOT the SUPERIOR
41
branches that go through sphenopalatine foramen go where?
both the septum AND the lateral wall of the nose
42
5 main arteries that are going into the nose. name for this.
Kiesselbach area. anterior ethmoidal, posterior ethmoidal, sphenopalatine artery ( to lateral wall and septum), superior labial (from facial), greater palatine (from incisive canal)
43
