24
Q

is a specialized organ at the entrance of the respiratory system

A

nose

25
Q

Nose is divided into ? And what is called?

A

2, external portion and internal portion

26
Q

the portion visible on the face

A
  • external portion:
27

consists of bone & cartilage covered with skin & lined with mucous membrane

A
  • external portion:
28
Q

lies in & posterior to the external nose

A

internal portion

29
Q

is continuous with the pharynx posteriorly

A

internal portion

30
Q

is also lined with mucous membrane

A

internal portion

31
Q

or “nostrils”

A

External nares

32
Q

the external opening into the nasal cavity

A

External nares

33
Q

contain coarse hairs w/c filter large particles, such as insects & lint, from the inspired air.

A

Ala nasi

36
Q

the tip of the nose

A

Apex

37
Q

bony framework of the
nose formed by nasal
bones

A

Bridge

38
Q

superior attachment of the
nose to the frontal bone

A

Root

39
Q

the space that lies
below the cranium &
above the mouth

A

Nasal cavity

40
Q

where the
nasolacrimal duct
empties tears

A

Nasal cavity

41
Q

consists of a small
patch of olfactory
epithelium at the roof
of the nasal cavity

A

olfactory mucosa

42
Q

houses the olfactory
receptors

A

olfactory mucosa

43
Q

consists of a
pseudostratified
ciliated columnar
epithelium
containing scattered
goblet cells

A

respiratory mucosa

44
Q

mucus secreted by
the goblet cells
moisten the inspired
air & filter it by
trapping foreign
debris

A

respiratory mucosa

45
Q

cilia move the
contaminated mucus
toward the pharynx,
where it is spitted out or
swallowed & destroyed
by the stomach’s
digestive juices

A

respiratory mucosa

46
Q

also rests on a rich
network of thin-walled
superficial veins that
warms the inhaled air

A

respiratory mucosa

47
Q

hollow cavities within the
sphenoid, ethmoid,
maxillary, & frontal bones

A

Paranasal sinuses

48
Q

are lined with respiratory
mucosa

A

Paranasal sinuses

49
