LATERAL WALL OF NOSE: parts concha meatus Agger nasi: mucous ridge Atrium Of middle meatus Limen nasi: mucocutaneous ridge vestibule CONCHAE AND MEATUSES NASAL CONCHAE (Turbinate bones) INFERRIOR CONCHA Separate bone. Extends horizontally backwards and ends 1.25cm in front of pharyngeal opening of auditory tube. Anteriorly continuous as Inf.concha Inf.concha Vestibule. Space under cover- Inferior meatus. Auditory tube Naso lacrimal Termination of naso lacrimal Inf.Meatus Inf.Meatus duct. duct. MIDDLE CONCHA Middle meatus Bulla ethamoidalis- a bony bulging Middle ethamoidal air sinuses Opens into the meatus or above the bulla. Hiatus semilunaris Cresentric space below the bulla Maxillary sinus opens into posterior part of Hiatus semilunaris. Ethmoidal infundibulum A short passage at anterior end of the hiatus. Anterior ethmoidal and frontal sinus opens into it. SUPERIOR CONCHA Shortest Superior meatus- Posterior ethamoidal sinus opens. Supreme meatus-b/w superior concha & roof of nasal cavity. Sphenoethamoidal recess-depression above &behind the superior concha. Sphenoidal air sinuses opens.

Epistaxis-bleeding from nose. Dangerous area of the nose infection spread along the olfactory nerves to the cranial cavity. A broken nose, also called a nasal fracture or nose fracture, is a break or crack in the bone or cartilage of your nose. These breaks typically occur over the bridge of the nose or in the septum, which is the area that divides your nostrils. APPLIED ANATOMY DNS NASAL POLYP LITTLE’S AREA Kiesselbach's plexus: - which lies in Kiesselbach's area, Kiesselbach's triangle, or Little's area, - It is a region in the anteroinferior part of the nasal septum where four arteries anastomose to form a vascular plexus. Importance: It is a common site of bleeding from nose (Epistaxis). 30-Sep-24 35 APPLIED ANATOMY: Allergic Rhinitis Hypertrophy of mucosa over inferior nasal concha PHARYNX The pharynx is a 12–14 cm long. Musculomembranous tube shaped like an inverted cone. It extends from the cranial base to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage (the level of the sixth cervical vertebra), where it becomes continuous with the esophagus. The pharynx lies behind, and communicates with, the nasal, oral and laryngeal cavities via the nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx, respectively. Divisible into nasopharynx, oropharynx,& laryngopharynx. Communication between oral cavity & pharynx is oropharyngeal isthmus 30-Sep-24 37 Features on nasopharynx: Opening of the auditory tube Tubal elevation Salpingopharyngeal & salpingopalatine fold Tubal tonsil & Pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids) Communication between naso & oropharynx is pharyngeal isthmus Features on oropharynx: Lies in front of C2 & upper part of C3 vertebra Palatopharyngeal folds/arches Palatine tonsil & tonsillar sinus 30-Sep-24 38 30-Sep-24 39 Features on laryngopharynx: Lies in front of C3-C6 vertebra Upper part formed by inlet of larynx below and posterior surfaces by arytenoid & cricoid cartilages. Wall of pharynx: Formed by skeletal muscles & fascia Buccopharyngeal fascia coats outside of muscle wall Pharyngobasilar fascia lines inside of the muscle wall 30-Sep-24 40 Constrictors of pharynx: Superior middle & inferior constrictors All originate posterior to nasal, oral & laryngeal cavities Fibers pass to posterior & lateral walls of pharynx meeting to form midline raphe. Longitudinal muscles of pharynx: Stylopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus & salpingopharyngeus. Nerve supply of muscles of pharynx: All constrictors & salpingopharyngeus by pharyngeal branch of vagus Stylopharyngeus by glossopharyngeal Palatopharyngeus by cranial part of accessory 30-Sep-24 41 Blood vessels & lymphatics of pharynx: Ascending pharyngeal, lingual, facial, maxillary arteries Venous plexus surrounding pharynx drains into internal jugular & facial veins Lymph vessels drain into deep cervical lymph nodes. Nerve supply of pharynx: Pharyngeal plexus formed by branches of glossopharyngeal, vagus,& cranial accessory 30-Sep-24 42 KILLIAN’S DEHISCENCE Killian's dehiscence (also known as Killian's triangle) is a triangular area in the wall of the pharynx between the thyropharyngeal and cricopharyngeus of the inferior constrictor of the pharynx. It represents a potentially weak spot where a pharyngoesophageal diverticulum (Zenker's diverticulum) is more likely to occur. 30-Sep-24 43 PARANASAL AIR SINUS Air filled spaces in bones that surround the nasal cavity. Named according to the bones in which they are located. There are four groups of sinuses: 1. Maxillary sinuses (Antrum of Highmore) 2. Ethmoid sinuses 3. Frontal sinus 4. Sphenoid sinus 30-Sep-24 44 PARANASAL AIR SINUS The paranasal sinuses are cavities found in the interior of the maxilla, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. They are lined with mucoperiosteum and filled with air. They communicate with the nasal cavity through relatively small apertures. Lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Maxillary sinuses - Aerated at birth Frontal /sphenoidal sinuses develop at :Age 6-7years Ethmoid - Develop during puberty and develop slowly until approximately 17- 18 years of age. 30-Sep-24 45 PARANASAL SINUS Sphenoid bone Ethmoid Bone Inferior Nasal Concha Vomer Palatine 30-Sep-24 46 PARANASAL AIR SINUS Perpendicular plate Ethmoidal sinuses Crista galli Cribriform foramina Orbital plate In cribriform plate 30-Sep-24 47 FUNCTIONS OF PARANASAL AIR SINUS Decrease skull bone weight Warm, moisten and filter incoming air Serve as a resonating chamber for voice Act as shock absorbers in trauma (like air bags in a car) Possibly help control Immune system When the apertures of the sinuses are blocked or they become filled with fluid, the quality of the voice is markedly changed. 30-Sep-24 48 APPLIED ANATOMY OF PARANASAL AIR SINUS Sinusitis- is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinus. Healthy sinus are filled with air. But when they become blocked and filled with fluid germ can grow causes infection. There are many varieties of sinusitis-acute, subacute, chronic and recurrent. Common cold, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyp and deviated nasal septum can causes sinusitis also. 30-Sep-24 49 TRACHEA AND BRONCHIAL TREE REFERENCES Drake R.L., Gray’s Anatomy for Students, 2nd Edition, 2009, Churchill Livingstone Moore, Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 6th Edition, 2009, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Standring, Gray’s Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice, 40thEdition, 2008 Johannes W Rohen, Color Atlas of Anatomy: A photographic study of the human body, 7th Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Kenneth S Saladin, Human Anatomy, 2nd Edition, 2008, McGraw-Hill Companies 30-Sep-24 51
