Q

– anterior protruding ridge of nose extending from root to tip it includes the bridge

A

DORSUM

19
Q

– the apex (top) of the pyramidal mass of the nose, which less directly inferior to the forehead. Concave dip inferior to the forehead

A

ROOT

20
Q

– dome over nasal cavity, point of greatest projection. The arched portion of the nose supported by the nasal bones

A

BRIDGE

21
Q

– rounded anterior projection on the tip of the nose

A

LOBE

22
Q

– the termination of the forward projection of the nose. Part of protruding lobe

A

TIP

23
Q

– external lateral lobes of the nose. The widest part of the nose bordered by the nasal sulcus and the anterior nares

A

WINGS

24
Q

– fleshy/skin termination of the nasal septum at base of nose bordered by the nasal sulcus and the anterior nares

A

COLUMNA NASI

25
Q

– External nostril openings located in posterior two-thirds base of the nose

A

ANTERIOR NARES

26
Q

– lateral wall of nose, located between the wings and bridge of the nose. They recede laterally from the dorsum

A

SIDES OF NOSE

27
Q

– composite of 4 different parts at bottom of nose (inferior margin of the wings, anterior nares, columna nasi, &underside of protruding lobe)

A

BASE OF NOSE

28
Q

– lowermost scroll shaped bones on the sidewalls of the nasal cavity

A

INFERIOR NASAL CONCHA

29
Q

NASAL DISTORTION

A

BY CANCER:
BY SUPERFICIAL PRESSURE
BY FRACTURE

30
Q

A state of being twisted or pushed out of natural shape or position. Nose may be twisted from its normal alignment by cancer of the cheek, by superficial pressure or by fractures

A

NASAL DISTORTION

31
Q

Cancer in one cheek may pull the nose to the opposite side due to the natural tension of muscles

A

NASAL DISTORTION BY CANCER:

32
Q

Treatment:
Corrected with sutures that cross the diseased area and are secured in healthy tissue
Temporary sutures may be used if the cancer is to be removed after the embalming. Once removed, then permanent sutures are used.

A

NASAL DISTORTION BY CANCER:

33
Q

Occurs if the decedent was in a prone position for some time before embalming or may be the result of pressure from a body bag or other facial covering

A

NASAL DISTORTION BY SUPERFICIAL PRESSURE

34
Q

Treatment:
Mortuary putt, non-absorbent cotton or other packing materials may be inserted into the nares
For mild distortion, a light massage or pressure against the side of the nose during embalming may be sufficient

A

NASAL DISTORTION BY SUPERFICIAL PRESSURE

35
Q

Treatment:
If skin is intact, fractured nasal bones may be externally manipulated back into position
The nasal cavity may then be packed with mortuary putty, non-absorbent cotton or other packing materials

A

NASAL DISTORTION BY FRACTURE

36
Q

This may be the result of a feeding tube, endotrachial tube or other medical device that was in the nares for an extended length of time

A

EROSION OF NASAL TISSUE

37
Q

Treatment:
The tissue must be clean, firm and dry
Necrotic tissue may be excised, (Wax may be used for this type of restoration)

A

EROSION OF NASAL TISSUE

38
Q

prominent organ of smell located in the center or middle 1/3 of the face.

A

Nose

39
Q

Beginning of the respiratory tract and is triangular or pyramidal in shape.
