Dr Ronald Chin’s Explanation Of The Anatomy Of Nose And Sinuses
The nose is made up of a framework of bones and cartilage. Those are divided into right and left chambers by nasal septum. The lateral walls of the nasal cavity have 3 bony projections that project into the nasal cavity called superior, middle, and inferior turbinates.
The nose acts as the initial channel for air passage into the respiratory tract. Gas is exchanged in your body through airflow. The nose is more efficient at this task compared to the mouth. The nose also plays a major role in humidifying and warming the and for olfaction. It also defends against infections.
The paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities lined with mucosa that communicate directly with the nasal cavity. There are four pairs of paranasal sinuses. Those are the frontal, ethmoidal, maxillary, and sphenoidal sinuses.
