Duct of lateral nasal gland

Common nasal meatus

Nasolacrimal duct

Cartilage of nasal septum

Ventral nasal meatus

Vomeronasal organ

Lateral frontal sinus with ectoturbinates

Dorsal nasal cavity

Middle nasal cavity

Ventral nasal cavity

Entrance to the maxillary recess

Alar fold

Basal fold

Ventral nasal concha
Where does the nasal cavity extend?
Nostrils → Lamina cribrosa
Function of nasal conchae
Increase respiratory surface area
Nasal conchae in animals with highly developed olfactory senses…
Are more complex
What is found underlying the mucosa of the nasal cavity?
Vascular plexii
Endoturbinate I
- Longest endoturbinate
- Most dorsal
- Extends furthest into the nasal cavity
- Forms the base of the dorsal nasal conchae

Endoturbinate II
- Forms the bony part of the middle nasal conchae

The bony part of the ventral nasal concha is formed by the…
Maxilla
What is contained in the caudal portion of the nasal cavity
- Ethmoid conchae
- Contains olfactory nerve endings
Composition of conchae
- Basal lamella - Lateral wall of nasal cavity
- Spiral lamella - Formed medially to basal lamina
Give the conchae formation in Ca

Give the conchae formation in Equine

Give the conchae formation in ruminants

Paired duct on the nasal cavity floor
Ductus incisivus
Give the blood supply of the nasal cavity
- Major palatine a.
- Maxillary a. → Sphenopalatine a.
- Caudal nasal a.
- Lateral nasal a.
- Septal nasal a.
Give the innervation of the nasal cavity
- Olfactory n. (CN-I) → Through lamina cribrosa
- Vomeronasal n.
