Study Notes
Nasal Cavity
- Divided into two halves by the nasal septum
- Consists of two parts: nasal vestibule and proper nasal cavity
- Boundaries:
- Medial wall: nasal septum
- Roof: cribriform plate of ethmoid
- Floor: hard and soft palate
Lateral Wall of Nasal Cavity
- Three nasal conchae: superior, middle, and inferior
- Three nasal meatuses: superior, middle, and inferior
Medial Wall of Nasal Cavity (Nasal Septum)
- Composed of bone and cartilage
- Structures: perpendicular plate of ethmoid, septal cartilage, palatine process of maxilla, and vomer
Mucous Membrane of Nose
- Olfactory region: located in the upper nasal cavity, contains olfactory cells
- Respiratory region: situated outside of olfactory region, functions to warm, moisten, and clean inspired air
Paranasal Sinuses
- Four paired sinuses: frontal, sphenoidal, maxillary, and ethmoidal
- Each sinus has an opening that passes into the nasal cavity
- Functions: air-filled cavities in the cranium surrounding the nasal cavity
Paranasal Sinuses and Their Site of Drainage
- Frontal sinus: drains into the middle meatus via infundibulum
- Maxillary sinus: drains into the middle meatus through semilunar hiatus
- Sphenoidal sinus: drains into the sphenoethmoidal recess
- Ethmoidal sinuses:
- Anterior group: drains into the middle meatus
- Middle group: drains into the middle meatus
- Posterior group: drains into the superior nasal meatus
