Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

11.0K
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...

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

9.3K
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...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

4.4K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

447
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...

Physiology of Smell and Olfactory Pathway01:20

Physiology of Smell and Olfactory Pathway

11.9K
Humans detect odors with the help of specialized cells located in the upper part of the nasal cavity, called olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). ORNs possess hair-like structures called cilia, which are receptive to sensations from the inhaled air. When an odorant molecule binds to a specific receptor on the cell of the cilia, it leads to a series of events that ultimately cause the ORN to send electrical signals to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerves.
The olfactory...

Prosopagnosia01:24

Prosopagnosia

618
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Plastic Surgery
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Nasal obstruction is a frequent complaint across medical specialties.
  • Standard surgical and nonsurgical treatments are effective for many patients.
  • A subset of patients experiences persistent nasal obstruction despite interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline management strategies for patients with refractory nasal obstruction.
  • To highlight the importance of considering mental health in these challenging cases.
  • To guide clinicians on appropriate diagnostic testing and treatment selection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical approaches to persistent nasal obstruction.
  • Emphasis on diagnostic endoscopy and imaging for identifying subtle or unrepairable issues.
  • Discussion of patient-reported outcome measures for objective symptom assessment.

Main Results:

  • Persistent nasal obstruction may stem from unrepairable anatomical issues or lack thereof.
  • Medications can both exacerbate and alleviate symptoms.
  • Iatrogenic complications from prior surgeries can lead to conditions like nasal valve stenosis or empty nose syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Management requires a sensitive approach, integrating patient mental health.
  • Diagnostic endoscopy and imaging are valuable in complex cases.
  • Careful consideration of surgical intervention is crucial, avoiding unnecessary procedures for minimal deformities.
