Study Notes

The Nose

  • The nose is the part of the respiratory tract above the hard palate
  • Contains the organ of smell (olfaction)
  • Includes both the external nose and the nasal cavity
  • Functions include smelling, breathing, filtering dust, humidifying air, and draining secretions.

Pterygopalatine Fossa

  • Major distribution center for maxillary nerve branches and pterygopalatine part of the maxillary artery
  • Located between the infratemporal fossa, nasal cavity, orbit, and other structures
  • Contains the maxillary nerve (CN V₂), the parasympathetic pterygopalatine ganglion, the third part of the maxillary artery, and accompanying veins, plus fatty tissue.

External Nose

  • Visible portion projecting from the face
  • Primarily composed of cartilage.
  • Shape varies greatly due to cartilage differences
  • Dorsum extends from the nose root to tip.
  • Nares (nostrils) are two pear-shaped openings at the inferior surface.
  • Alae (wings) border the nares laterally.
  • The superior bony part of the nose (including the root) has thin skin.
  • Thicker skin covers the cartilages and contains sebaceous glands
  • Vibrissae (stiff hairs) filter dust particles entering the nasal cavity.
  • Junction of the skin and mucosa is beyond the hair-bearing zone.

Nasal Skeleton

  • Bony components include the nasal bones, frontal processes of the maxillae, nasal part of the frontal bone and its nasal spine, along with parts of the nasal septum.
  • Cartilaginous components include two lateral cartilages, two alar cartilages, and one septal cartilage
  • The alar cartilages are flexible and can change the size of the nares.

Nasal Septum

  • Divides the nasal cavity into two halves.
  • Includes the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, the vomer, and septal cartilage.

Nasal Cavities

  • The term nasal cavity refers to the whole or a single side
  • Lined by mucosa, except for the nasal vestibule.
  • Mucosa is firmly bound to bone and cartilage, connecting to other structures
  • Superior one-third (olfactory area) contains the organ of smell
  • Inferior two-thirds (respiratory area): warms and moistens air before it enters the lungs.
