In the epithelium lining the roof and walls

13
Q

What does the epithelium of the nasal cavity do?

A

Secrete mucus fluid

14
Q

Describe olfaction

A

Olfaction is aided by the air flow through the nasal cavity
The epithelium secretes a mucus fluid, odoriferous gases are dissolved into the fluid and then detected by the olfactory nerves

Through frontonasal duct

18
Q

What are ethmoidal cells?

A

Invaginations in the ethmoid bone and drain into middle meatus or superior meatus

19
Q

What are sphenoidal sinuses?

A

In sphenoid bone

20
Q

Where do sphenoidal sinuses drain?

A

Sphenoethmoidal recess

21
Q

Where do paired maxillary sinuses in the maxilla drain?

A

Middle meatus

22
Q

List the 7 bones the orbit is made up of

A
Frontal
Maxilla
Ethmoidal
Lacrimal
Sphenoidal
Temporal - zygomatic 
Nasal
23
Q

What does the eyeball contain?

A
