ACCESSORY BONES Nasal bones Nasal spines of frontal bones Rostrum & crest of sphenoid Nasal crest of maxillary & palatine bones
CARTILAGINOUS PART Septal process of inf nasal cart.
CARTILAGINOUS SEPTUM
LATERAL WALL
Nasolacrimal canal formed by –lacrimal groove of maxilla, descending process of lacrimal bone & lacrimal process of inferior nasal concha.
several paranasal sinuses have their openings in this meatus as follows: a) Maxillary air sinus: opens into the hiatus semilunaris below the bulla ethmoidalis . b) Anterior ethmoidal sinus : opens into the hiatus semilunaris in front of the bulla ethmoidalis . c) Middle ethmoidal sinus : opens on the bulla ethmoidalis . d) Frontal sinus : opens into the upper part of the hiatus semilunaris . Openings of the middle meatus :
VASCULAR SUPPLY Ant & post ethmoidal A – roof of nose Sphenopalatine A- conchae , meatus & post inf part of nasal septum Greater palatine A- inf meatus & little’s area of nasal septum( kiesselbach’s plexus) labial br of facial A- ant & inf part
VENOUS DRAINAGE Ant part of nose- veins accompanying ant ethmoidal A – opthalmic or facial V Post part of nose- sphenopalatine a– pterygoid venous plexus Few veins pass through cribriform plate and connect with those of frontal lobe of brain Foramen caecum also transmit nasal vein to sup saggital sinus
NERVE SUPPLY Olfactory N – sense of smell Nerve of general sensation – a)Ant ethmoidal N b) Sphenopalatine ganglion c)Br of infraorbital N 3. Autonomic– derived from vidian N through pterygopalatine ganglion which innervates mucous glands.
NERVE SUPPLY Ant ethmoidal N- roof of nasal cavity Lat internal br - ant part of lat wall Med internal br - ant & upper part of septum Infraorbital N- vestibule Ant sup alveolar N - floor near ant nasal spine - ant part of lat wall Lat post sup and inf nasal br ( grt palatine N)- post 3/4 th of lat wall,roof & floor Med post sup nasal & nasopalatine N- inf part of nasal septum Br from N to pteygoid canal – upper & post part of roof & septum.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
PARANASAL SINUSES
Functional importance: They have the following functions: * They make the skull lighter (filled with air). * They act as resonating chambers for the voice . They increase the surface area of the nasal mucous membrane and thus help warming the air before entering the lung. Aid in growth of facial skeleton after birth.
