Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

3.7K
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...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Simple Epithelium

9.6K
Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells that lines body cavities and blood vessels. The shape of the cells in the epithelium reflects the function of the tissue. Cells in simple squamous epithelium appear as thin scales with flat, elliptical nuclei that mirror the form of the cell.
Because of the thinness of the cells, simple squamous epithelium is present where the rapid passage of chemical compounds is observed. For example, the endothelium that lines the capillaries and vessels...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

2.2K
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....

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

9.4K
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...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

232
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Fibroepithelial polyps are benign mesodermal lesions, typically found on the skin or genitourinary tract.
  • Their occurrence in the head and neck region, particularly the sinonasal cavity, is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of a fibroepithelial polyp within the sinonasal cavity.
  • The patient presented with symptoms of unilateral nasal obstruction due to the growing mass.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic surgical excision was performed for the sinonasal fibroepithelial polyp.
  • The patient experienced a complete recovery following the surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Fibroepithelial polyp should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral sinonasal masses.
  • Sinonasal fibroepithelial polyps demonstrate a favorable prognosis with appropriate surgical management.
