II. Anatomy: External Structures
- Nare
- Nasal opening, divided into an anterior nare (nostril) and posterior nare (choanae)
- Nasal Vestibule
- Region at proximal nostril opening
- Nasal Ala
- Lateral wall of the nasal vestibule
- Alar Rim
- Anterior-lateral rim of the nostril extending from the Columella to lateral Nasal Ala
- Columella Nasi
- Anterior-most portion of septum that divides the two nostrils
- Forms the medial wall of each nasal vestibule
- Composed of a cartilage support that is covered with skin
- Nasal Bridge
- Superior aspect of the dorsal nose, just below the Glabella
- Glabella
- Portion of forehead between the eyebrows just superior to the Nasal Bridge
III. Anatomy: Support
- Bony Support
- Lateral: Maxilla
- Superior: Frontal Bone nasal process
- Central: Paired nasal bones
- Cartilage
- Cartilage extends from inferior edge of nasal bones
- Cartilage provides most of nasal pliable form
IV. Anatomy: Vascular Supply
V. Anatomy: Nerve Supply
-
Sensation: Branches of Cranial Nerve V (CN 5)
- Ethmoidal Nerve (V1): Anterior superior nose
- Infraorbital Nerve (V2): Anterior inferior septum
- Pterygopalatine Ganglion (V2): posterior nose
- Smell: Olfactory Nerves (Cranial Nerve 1)
- CN I forms Olfactory Bulb over Cribiform Plate
- Olfactory Bulb branches into many Olfactory Nerves
- Innervates olfactory mucosa in superior nose
