Study Notes

Development of the Nose

  • The face develops from five swellings in the first 28 days of gestation: paired maxillary and mandibular processes, and the unpaired frontonasal process.
  • Nasal placodes form as ectodermal thickenings on the frontonasal process in the fifth week.
  • In the sixth week, infolding of the ectoderm in the nasal placodes forms oval pits, which divide into medial and lateral nasal processes.
  • Medial nasal processes fuse to form the intermaxillary process, the precursor to the nasal septum and bridge.
  • The intermaxillary process develops into the philtrum in the seventh week.
  • The nasal sac deepens into the underlying mesenchyme during the sixth week.
  • The nasal sac enlarges as vacuoles form in the nasal fin, leading to the formation of the oronasal membrane.
  • The oronasal membrane disappears, creating the primitive choana.
  • The nasal cavity floor develops via the backward growth of the intermaxillary process (primary palate).
  • Palate shelves develop in the sixth week and rotate upwards.
  • The primary palate and palatine shelves fuse to form the secondary palate.

Anatomic Frameworks of the External Nose

  • Bony Framework:
    • Nasal bones
    • Frontal process of the maxilla
  • Cartilaginous Framework:
    • Nasal cartilages
    • Septal cartilage
    • Greater and lesser alar cartilages
    • Fibrofatty tissue

Parts of the Nasal Septum

  • Septal cartilage
  • Vomer
  • Perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone

Muscles of the Nose

  • Dilators:
    • Procerus
    • Dilator naris
    • Quadratus labii superioris alaeque nasi
  • Compressors:
    • Nasalis muscle
    • Depressor septi
    • Depressor alae nasi

Nasal Wall Structures

  • Inferior Turbinate:
    • Inferior meatus
    • Nasolacrimal duct
  • Middle Turbinate:
    • Middle meatus
    • Maxillary sinus
    • Anterior ethmoid sinus
    • Frontal sinus
  • Superior Turbinate:
    • Superior Meatus
    • Posterior ethmoid sinus
  • Supreme Turbinate

Respiratory Mucosa Histology

  • Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, ciliated in most regions
  • Stratified squamous epithelium in areas of high air velocity
  • Ciliated cells renew mucous blanket every 3-4 hours

Blood Supply of the Nose

  • Internal carotid artery (ophthalmic artery branches) supplies the lateral wall
  • External carotid artery (sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries) supplies the lateral wall and septum
  • Kiesselbach's plexus is a common site of epistaxis

Innervation of the Nose

  • Ophthalmic nerve (CN V1) and the maxillary nerve (CN V2) of the trigeminal nerve supply sensory innervation to the nose.

Physical Principles of Nasal Airflow

  • Laminar flow in the nasal vestibule
  • Turbulent flow in the nasal cavity expansion
  • Velocity- and viscosity-dependent changes to airflow
  • Influences of specialized nasal anatomy

Protective Functions of Nasal Mucosa

  • Mechanical (Mucocilliary Apparatus):
    • Cleanses the inspired air
    • Cilia move mucus and trapped particles to the pharynx.
  • Cellular Defenses:
    • Phagocytic cells (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages) and NK cells

Paranasal Sinuses

  • Air-filled cavities lined with a mucus membrane.
  • Maxillary sinus: pyramidal, largest, developed after the second dentition
  • Frontal sinus: located above the eyes
  • Ethmoid sinus: small air cells between the medial wall of the orbit and the middle turbinate
  • Sphenoid sinus: deep within the skull base

Olfactory Cells

  • Bipolar nerve cells derived from the central nervous system
  • Form olfactory cilia in a mucus coating the nasal cavity inner surface
  • Odorant stimulates receptor proteins, leading to cAMP activation, depolarization, and action potentials

Neural Pathway into the Olfactory Cortex

  • Axons from mitral to tuft cells project to the olfactory tract.
  • Signals travel to the olfactory bulb, where they synapse with mitral cells.
  • Signals continue to the olfactory cortex via the olfactory tract.
