3. NOSE ANATOMY
The nose consists of the nasal bones, the frontal
process of the maxilla at the root of the nose, and a
number of cartilages.
These nasal cartilages are made of hyaline cartilage.
These are the lateral nasal cartilages, the greater alar
cartilages, and the lesser alar cartilages.
The septal cartilage also forms part of these
cartilages.
The openings of the nose (nostrils) are the external
nares (external naris singular).
4. NOSE ANATOMY
The nasal cavity has a wall that runs down the middle of it
called the nasal septum.
The septum consists of three parts, the perpendicular plate
of the ethmoid bone (a continuation of the crista galli) , the
vomer and the septal cartilage.
At the end of the nasal septum are two holes that separate
the nasal cavity from the nasopharynx. These are the
choanae or internal nares.
The floor of the nasal cavity is bordered by the hard palate
and the soft palate.
At the junction of the crista galli and the perpendicular plate
of the ethmoid is the cribriform plate of the ethmoid.
5. NOSE ANATOMY
When looking at the nasal cavity, if the septal
cartilage is removed you can see the nasal conchae.
These structures force the inhaled air to come into
contact with the wall of the nasal cavity where the
air is warmed and moistened.
There are three nasal conchae, the superior nasal
concha, the middle nasal concha, and the inferior
nasal concha.
Note the position of the conchae with the nasal
bone, the hard palate and the soft palate.
6. NOSE ANATOMY
The nasal cavity is lined with respiratory epithelium
which is pseudostratified ciliated columnar
epithelium with goblet cells.
Respiratory epithelium is found in the nasal cavity,
the lower larynx, trachea, and bronchi. The goblet
cells secrete mucus which forms a film over the
epithelial surface. Dust and other particulate matter
sticks to the mucous sheet which is moved by the
cilia.
This provides a protective function, removing
particulate matter from entering the lungs where it
might do damage.
8. NOSE PHYSIOLOGY
The sense of smell is more complex than the sense of taste.
There are only five primary tastes but many different kinds
of smells.
The region that is sensitive to smell is the olfactory
epithelium which is located in the superior portion of the
nasal cavity.
The olfactory epithelium consists of elongated epithelial
cells that are supporting cells with neurons called olfactory
cells. These olfactory cells have olfactory hairs on their
surface.
Chemicals that are inhaled come into contact with a mucous
sheet and are picked up by the olfactory cells.
The sensation of smell is transmitted by the olfactory nerves
through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and they
synapse in the olfactory bulb at the base of the frontal lobe
of the brain.
