Sinus, Nasal, Ear, Orbit Flashcards
what are the 3 external nasal muscles?
- procerus
- nasalis - 2 parts
- levator labii superioris alaeque nasi
- all innervated by facial n.
- supplied by facial a. and ophthalmic a.
what are all of the components of the external nose?
- nasal bones
- lateral cartilage
- septal cartilage
- alar cartilage
- fibroareolar tissue
- external nares
what features make up the lateral walls of the nasal cavity?
- superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae
- superior, middle, and inferior nasal meatuses
major sources of blood for the lateral nasal cavity
- ICA
- ophthalmic a.
- ethmoidal aa.
- ophthalmic a.
- ECA
- facial a.
- maxillary a.
- sphenopalatine
- lateral posterior nasal aa.
- sphenopalatine
major sources of blood for the nasal septum
- ICA
- ophthalmic – ethmoidal arteries – anterior septal branches
- ECA
- maxillary – sphenopalatine – posterior septal branches
- facial – septal branch of superior labial artery
innervation of the nasal cavity
- V-1 – anterior nasal septum and cavity
- Anterior ethmoidal nerve
- V-2 – rest of the nasal septum and cavity
- Sphenopalatine branch of V-2 via the sphenopalatine foramen
- CN I
how does the nasal cavity communicate with the paranasal sinuses?
- opening of nasolacrimal duct
- extends down into nasal cavity
what are the paranasal sinuses?
- hollow chambers named for bones in which they reside
- frontal sinus
- ethmoid sinus (air cells)
- maxillary sinus
- sphenoid sinus
how are the paranasal sinuses connected?
- frontal sinus - yellow
- maxillary sinus - orange
- ethmoid air cells - red and green
- semilunar hiatus - purple arrow
- maxillary hiatus (ostium) - blue circle
- they all drain into the nasal cavity
how many drainage points are there in the paranasal sinuses?
5 sites of drainage
- drainage of the sinuses
- maxillary hiatus
- semilunar hiatus
- sphenothemoidal recess
- drainage of the orbit
- lacrimal duct
- drainage of the ear
- pharyngeal orifice of pharyngotympanic tube
describe innervation of the external surface of the ear
- helix
- lesser occipital n. (C2)
- external auditory meatus
- auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular n. (V3)
- tragus
- auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular n. (V3) and great auricular n. (C2, C3)
- lobule
- great auricular n. (C2, C3)
describe sensory innervation of the tympanic membrane
- CN V3
- X (outer)
- IX (inner)
which 2 palate muscles can be used to help clear the ears?
tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini
describe innervation and blood supply of the middle ear - tympanic cavity
- CN IX
- CN VII
- branches of maxillary artery
what do ossicles do in the middle ear?
transform vibrations in the air (external) to waves in fluid (internal)
