What is the gateway to the nasal cavity?
Naris (nostril) Cribriform plate (roof of the cavity) Sphenopalatine foramen (on lateral wall) Incisive canal (on cavity floor between nasal cavity & Palate)
What is the nasal cavity bone?
The roof of the nasal cavity is formed by the (2) nasal bonesThe floor is formed by the palatine bone posteriorly and palatine process of the maxilla anteriorlyThe sides of the nasal cavity is mostly made up of the maxillary bone, as well as parts of the palatine bone, medial pterygoid plate and lateral mass of the ethmoid bone
What are scroll like extensions that increase the surface of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber known as?
Scroll-like extensions that increase the surface area of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber are called nasal conchae or nasal turbinates. They help to humidify, filter, and warm the air as it passes through the nasal cavity before reaching the lungs.
Para nasal sinuses drain into which cavity?
Nasal cavity.
What organ system does nasal cavity belong to?
The nasal cavity belongs to the respiratory system.
What is the gateway to the nasal cavity?
Naris (nostril) Cribriform plate (roof of the cavity) Sphenopalatine foramen (on lateral wall) Incisive canal (on cavity floor between nasal cavity & Palate)
What are the bony ridges that warm air called?
The bony ridges that warm the air as it travels through the nasal cavity are called turbinate bones or nasal conchae. They help to increase the surface area of the nasal cavity to aid in warming, humidifying, and filtering incoming air before it reaches the lungs.
Superior and medial nasal conchae formed its projections?
Formed from the medially extending bone of the lateral masses of the Ethmoid into the nasal cavity.
Most nasal passages have how many turbinates present on the lateral wall of each nasal cavity?
There are usually three turbinates present on the lateral wall of each nasal cavity - the superior, middle, and inferior turbinates. These bony structures help to humidify, filter, and warm the air as it passes through the nasal passages.

Para nasal sinuses drain into which cavity?
Nasal cavity.
What is the difference between the bony nasal cavity and the nasal cavity?
The bony nasal cavity is made up of the hard palate and the palatine process of the maxilla. The nasal cavity is made up of the rest of the nasal sinuses and includes the bony nasal cavity.
What is the dagger shaped bone in the nasal cavity?
The dagger-shaped bone in the nasal cavity is called the vomer bone. It is located in the midline of the nasal cavity and helps to separate the left and right nasal passages.
What divides the nasal cavity?
The nasal septum divides the nasal cavity medially.Thanks,seesaw81297
Location of nasal cavity through nasopharynx?
The nasal cavity opens up to the nasopharynx through the choanae. The nasal cavity is lined with mucosa except for vestibule. The nasal cavity has openings for paranasal sinuses.
What cavity do the sinuses connect to?
The sinuses connect to the nasal cavity. They are hollow cavities located within the bones surrounding the nasal cavity and are lined with a mucous membrane.
