Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

13.7K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

672
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.7K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

4.3K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

13.3K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal anatomy and physiology are critical for successful functional rhinoplasty.
  • Key structures influencing nasal breathing include the septum and nasal valves.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of understanding nasal anatomy and physiology in functional rhinoplasty.
  • To highlight the essential role of physical examination of the septum and nasal valves.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical structures crucial for nasal breathing.
  • Emphasis on physical examination techniques for identifying obstruction sites.
  • Discussion of surgical planning and techniques for addressing airway issues.

Main Results:

  • Identification of the septum and nasal valves as primary determinants of nasal airflow.
  • Recognition of the necessity for targeted surgical intervention at obstruction sites.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of nasal anatomy and physiology is paramount for functional rhinoplasty outcomes.
  • Thorough physical examination and precise surgical techniques are essential for correcting nasal airway obstruction.
