🗑
What are the anterior and posterior borders of the nasal cavity?   Anterior- external nares posterior- choanae  
🗑
Notable regions of the nasal cavity(4)   1. vestibule (chamber of the external nose) 2. limen nasi (skin to mucus membrane connection 3. olfactory region (where the olfactory receptors are located) 4. respiratory region (nasal mucosa that warms and humidifies inhaled air)  
🗑
Floor of the nasal cavity is formed by:   palatine processes of maxillary bone and horizontal plates of palatine bone  
🗑

What are the passageways of the nasal cavities called?   meati  
🗑
Into which meati does the nasolacrimal gland drain into?   inferior  
🗑
List the steps of the nasolacrimal system:   1. lacrimal gland > lacrimal lake (with caruncle) > upper/lower lacrimal papillae with puncta > lacrimal canaliculi > lacrimal sac > nasolacrimal duct > opening of the nasolacrimal duct into the inferior meatus  
🗑
What is the bulge lying underneath the middle conchae, caused by the middle ethmoid air cells?   ethmoid bulla  
🗑
What is the cleft lying underneath the middle conchae?   Hiatus semilunaris  
🗑

🗑
What nerve supplies the septum?   nasalpalatine nerve  
🗑
What nerves supply the conchae?   lateral posterior superior nerves and the lateral posterior inferior nerves  
🗑
What nerves supply the medial and lateral internal nasal cavity?   anterior ethmoidal nerve  
🗑
Primary blood flow to the nasal cavity is via:   the sphenopalatine artery  
🗑
Which branch off that artery?   posterior septal branch  
🗑
What branches of the sphenopalatine artery supply the nose?   anterior ethmoidal branches  
🗑
What braches of the sphenopalatine artery supply the nares?   superior labial branches
