Q

How do you divide up the areas of the septum supplied by the opthalmic and maxillary divisions?

A

draw a diagonal line from the sphenoidal sinus to the tip of the nose; above this line is ophthalmic and below is maxillary

Q

How does the nasopalatine nerve enter the septum?

A

through the sphenopalatine foramen

23
Q

How does the anterior ehtmoidla nerve enter the septum?

A

through the anterior ethmoidal foramen

24
Q

What are the 2 arteries that branch from the ECA that supply the face?

A

maxillary artery and facial artery

25
Q

What is the path of the maxillary artery?

A

ascends until just below the zygomatic arch then goes deep into the face

26
Q

What is the path of facial artery?

A

comes up just under the chin and splits into superior and inferior labial arteries which supply above and below the lips

27
Q

What artery derived form the ICA supplies the face?

A

ophthalmic artery

28
Q

What is the blood supply to the nasal septum?

A

anterior and posterio ethmoidal arteries; sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries; lateral and nasal septal branches

29
Q

What are the anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries branches of?

A

ophthalmic artery

30
Q

What are the sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries branches of?

A

maxillary artery

31
Q

What are the lateral nasal and septal arteries branches of?

A

facial artery (superior labial artery)

32
Q

What is Kiesselbach’s (little’s) area?

A

site where anastamosis between all the arteries happens

33
Q

Where is Little’s area located?

A

anteroinferiorly on nasal septum

34
Q

What is foudn above the superior nasal concha?

A

sphenoethmoidal recess

35
Q

What is found between the sup. and middle nasal conchae?

A

superior meatus

36
Q

what is found between the middle and inferior nasal concha?

A

middle meatus

37
Q

What is found beneath the inferior nasal concha?

A

inferior meatus

38
Q

What is the sensory nerve supply of inferior nasal concha?

A

V2

39
Q

What are the conchae often referred to?

A

turbinates

40
Q

What can impact airflow through the nose?

A

engorgement of the nasal mucosa- changes side every 1-5 hours due to erectile tissue

41
Q

What is the purpose of creating turbulent airflow through the nasal cavity?

A

increased opportunity for humidifying, warming and filtering

42
Q

What are the paranasal sinsues?

A

open sapces within bone

43
Q

What are the 4 bilateral pairs of paranasal sinuses?

A

frontal; ethmoidal air cells; maxillary; sphenoid

44
Q

What type of epithelium lines the sinuses?

A

respiratory epithelium

45
Q

What lies immediately superior to the sphenoidal sinsu?

A

pituitary glnad

46
Q

Which of the paranasal sinuses is the largest?

A

maxillary

47
Q

What sinus drains into the phenoehtmoidal recess?

A

sphenoid sinus

48
Q

What drains into the superior meatus?

A

posteiror ethmoidal air cells

49
Q

What are the 2 parts of the middle meatus?

A

semilunar hiatus and the ehtmoidal bulla

50
Q

What drains into the semilunar hiatus?

A

frontal sinus; maxillary and anterior ethmoidal air cells

51
Q

what drains into the ethmoidal bulla?

A

middle ethmoidal air cells

52
Q

what drains into the inferior meatus?

A

nasalacrimal duct

53
Q

why is the maxillary sinus predisposed to infection?

A

the ostium of maxillary sinus is located superior in realtion to its cavity so cilia must work against gravity
