Restorative Art Exam 2 Flashcards
The comparative size of the length of the nose to the width of the nose as indicated by its bony skeleton
nasal index
Three Anthropoidal Classifications:
Leptorrhine
Mesorrhine
Platyrrhine
a nose that is fairly long in length, narrow in its width, considered to be high bridged. Has A LOT OF PROJECTION to it, usually has indication on Western European
Leptorrhine
the nose is moderate in length and width, medium broad, medium low bridged. It DOESN’T HAVE MUCH PROJECTION. This classification is attributed to the Asian community
Mesorrhine
nose is shorter in length is more broad and has MINIMUM PROJECTION. This classification is seen in African Americans
Platyrrhine
the nose of the white race; is prominent at the bridge
Leptorrine
the nose of the yellow race; is intermediate between the other two classifications
Mesorrhine
the nose of the black race; it has minimum projection at the bridge and is broad and short
Platyrrhine
From the root to tip there are three (3) basic forms of nasal profiles. What are they?
Straight (Greek)
Convex (Roman)
Concave (infinite, snub, retroussé)
the most common nasal profile type. The anterior ridge is straight from root to tip
Straight (Greek)
nasal profile with a hump in its linear form; sometimes called hook or aquiline. Resembles the beak of an eagle
Convex (Roman)
depressed nasal profile type, surface from root to tip,
dips concavely. “Pug nose.” You are able to see into the nostrils of the deceased.
Concave (infantine, snub, retrousse)
paired bones inferior to the glabella, forming a dome over the superior portion of the nasal cavity
nasal bones
the orifice in the bony face bounded by the margins of the nasal bones and the maxilla
nasal cavity
The sharp, bony projection located medially at the inferior margin of the nasal cavity. This indicates the boney length of the nose
nasal spine
major cartilage of the nose
septum
superior lateral cartilage
inferior lateral cartilage
the vertical cartilage, divides nasal cavity into two chambers; not the same thing as the columna nasi; retreat into nasal cavity and goes into depth of nasal cavity; attaches to the vomer bone, gives almost all of the projection of the inferior portion of the nose
septum (1)
meets with nasal bones
Superior lateral cartilage (2)
Perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone
vomer
the anterior protruding ridge (or anterior ridge) of the nose from root to tip, it is composed of the bridge.
dorsum
the dorsum is composed of : (3)
root
bridge
protruding lobe (tip)
part of the dorsum; the apex (top) of the pyramidal mass of the nose, which lies directly inferior to the forehead. The concave dip below the forehead
Root
part of the dorsum; spanning two areas; the dome over the nasal cavity, greatest projection point and formed by the nasal bones
bridge
the spherical area forming the inferior part of the dorsum and the adjoining wings and columna nasi, it includes the tip of the nose (the termination of the forward projection of the nose)
protruding lobe (tip)
Lateral lobes of the nose. The widest part of the nose bordered by the nasal sulcus and the anterior nares.
Wings
the tiny superficial portion between the nostrils most inferior part of the nose, the external portion of the septum. Widest at its base; sometimes bent on one side
Columna nasi
the external nostril openings. Located in the posterior base of the nose
Anterior nares
the lateral walls of the nose between the wings and the bridge
sides
the base of the nose is comprised of four areas. What are they?
- Underside of protruding lobe
- inferior margins of the wings of the nose
- columna nasi
- the nostrils (anterior nares)
scroll shaped bones that are on the side walls of the nasal cavity; have no effect on surface form
Inferior nasal concha
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
Nasal distortion
treatment for nasal distortion by cancer
sutures
treatment for nasal distortion by superficial pressure
mortuary putty, non-absorbent cotton, or other packing materials
light massage
treatment for nasal distortion by fracture
external manipulation back into position
packing nasal cavity, mortuary putty, non-absorbent cotton, or other packing materials
This may be the result of a feeding tube, endotracheal tube or other medical device that was in the nares for an extended length of time
erosion of nasal tissue
treatment of erosion of nasal tissue
start with clean firm and dry tissue
excise necrotic tissue
use wax if necessary
