Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What two bones make up the nasal septum   Vomer and ethmoid  
🗑
Hard palate is made of what two bones   Palatine and maxilla  
🗑
Hairs in the nasal vestibule do what?   Trap large particles  
🗑
What gives the nose its typical shape and resiliency?   Nasal cartilage  
🗑
What separates the right and left nasal cavities and fuses with the hard palate?   Nasal septum  
🗑
A deviated septum can do what?   Impede airflow and predispose to congestion  
🗑
A blow out fracture is seen in the   Medial orbit in the ethmoid bone  
🗑
Fracture of the ethmoid bone's cribiform plate can cause   CSF rhinorrhea  
🗑
The nasal vestibule is covered by what type of cells?   Stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
Almost all of the respiratory tract is covered by   Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium  
🗑
Cells of respiratory epithelium   Ciliated cells(move mucous), Goblet cells (create mucous), Small granule cells (endocrine), brush cells (sensory), Basal cells (stem cells)  
🗑
Nasal polyps are what?   Benign overgrowths of the nasal mucosa. May require surgery but are usually idiopathic. Can be due to prolonged respiratory irritation  
🗑
The upper third of the lateral nasal cavity and nasal septum is lined by   Olfactory epithelium  
🗑
Olfactory epithelium contain olfactory glands in the lamina propria release a serous fluid to dissolve and bind odorant molecules. These glands are called   Bowman's capsules  
🗑
Olfactory epithelium contain what type of sensory cells   Bipolar sensory nerve cells with olfactory vesicles sprouting modified cilia  
🗑
Kesselbachs area is where   All nasal blow flow interrelates  
🗑
What connects each nasal cavity to the nasopharynx   Choanae  
🗑
Arteries to the kesselbach area   Incisive, anterior ethmoidal, Facial  
🗑
Arteries that feed to the back of the nasal cavity   Posterior ethmoidal, Sphenopalatine, and Maxillary  
🗑
CSF rhinorrhea is a result from a broken   Cribiform plate  
🗑
Sphenoid sinus drains into the   Sphenoeithmoidal recess  
🗑
Posterior ethmoid air cells drain to the   Superior meatus  
🗑
Anterior ethmoid air cells and middle ethmoid air cells drain to   Ethmoid bulla and then into the middle meatus  
🗑
Frontal sinus and maxillary sinus drain to the   Semilunar hiatus and then middle meatus  
🗑
Nasolacrimal duct drains to   Inferior meatus  
🗑
Opening of the auditory tube drains to   Nasopharynx  
🗑
Site of frequent sinusitis because sinus enters at a superior -oblique angle   Maxillary sinus  
🗑
Children are more susceptible to ear infections because   The auditory tube is more horizontal than an adult  
🗑
When mastoid air cells because infected, this can lead to   Mastoiditis  
🗑
Maxillary sinusitis can put pressure on which nerves to cause the perception of tooth facial pain?   Infraorbital and superior alveolar nerves  
🗑
In the oropharynx and esophagus, respiratory epithelium is replaced by   Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium because of high impact  
🗑
