The dorsal & ventral nasal conchae filled the nasal cavity, which present in all animals, while the middle nasal concha present caudally between the dorsal & ventral nasal conchae (present in ruminants & dog). Anatomy | Respiratory system| Dr. Saffanah Khuder Mahmood Page | 1 *The ethmoidal conchae: present in the caudal part of nasal cavity, contain numerous ethmoturbinate bony scrolls that covered by mucous membrane. *The nasal septum: septum divides the nasal cavity into 2 similar halves. It consist of bony and cartilaginous parts covered with mucous membrane. *The nasal conchae and the nasal septum divides each half of nasal cavity into pathways called the nasal meatuses: 1-Dorsal nasal meatus: between the roof of nasal cavity & dorsal nasal concha. 2-Middle nasal meatus: between the dorsal and the ventral nasal conchae. 3-Ventral nasal meatus: between the ventral nasal concha and the floor of the nasal cavity. Its large meatus lead to the nasopharynx. 4-Common nasal meatus: narrow vertical space between the nasal septum and the nasal conchae from the roof to the floor of the nasal cavity. *Nasopharyngeal meatus: short passage connect ventral nasal meatus with the nasal conchae on each side of nasal cavity. *Choanae (caudal nares): the two openings of the nasopharyngeal meatus into the nasopharynx, separated by vomer bone. *Vomeronasal organ: paired ducts lie in the floor of the nasal cavity on each side of the nasal septum. These ducts supported by thin walled cartilaginous sleeve and vomer bone. These ducts extend caudally from their openings at the incisive duct at the level of canine teeth, till the level of the 3rd or 4th molar teeth (about 15-20 cm length in Anatomy | Respiratory system| Dr. Saffanah Khuder Mahmood Page | 2 horse and ox, and about 2-7 cm length in small species). It has special olfactory and sexual functions. 1 Dorsal nasal concha, 2 Ethmoidal conchae, 3 Ventral nasal concha, 4 Ethmoid bone, 5 Pterygoid bone, 6 Frontal sinus, 7 sphenopalatine sinus Anatomy | Respiratory system| Dr. Saffanah Khuder Mahmood Page | 3 3=The fundus region: lined with olfactory epithelium distinguishing the odors. *Olfactory organ: consist of large area of olfactory mucosa that covering lateral nasal wall and ethmoidal conchae in caudal part of nasal cavity. Olfactory cells are bipolar neurons, their dendrites reach the epithelial surface that have cilia. While their axons combine to form the fascicle of the olfactory nerve (first cranial nerve) which pass through the cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to cranial cavity, where they fuse to form olfactory bulb. The serous olfactory glands moisten the surface to wash away the previously perceived odors. *The wall of the nasal cavity consist of skin externally and bones (maxillary bone, nasal bone, incisive bone, lacrimal bone, zygomatic bone and frontal bone). Anatomy | Respiratory system| Dr. Saffanah Khuder Mahmood Page | 4 *The paranasal sinuses: air filled spaces lined with mucosa that communicate with the nasal cavity. The function of paranasal sinuses are: 1-They offer some thermal and mechanical protection to the orbit, nasal cavity and cranial cavity. 2-Increase the surface area of the skull for the muscular attachments without increasing the weight. 3-Affect the resonant of the voice. *Paranasal sinuses are: In addition to conchal sinuses which are three pairs, the following paranasal sinuses are present: In horse: There are: 1-Frontal sinus. 2-Maxillary sinus (rostral and caudal parts). 3-Sphenopalatine sinus. Anatomy | Respiratory system| Dr. Saffanah Khuder Mahmood Page | 5 In dog: There are: 1-Frontal sinus. 2-Maxillary recess (communicate with nasal cavity).

    GROSS ANATOMY ASSIGNMENT NAME: OLORUNFEMI PEACE TOLUWALASE MATRIC NO: 17/MHS01/257 DEPT: MBBS COURSE: GROSS ANATOMY OF HEAD AND NECK QUESTION 1 Write an essay on the carvernous sinus. The cavernous sinuses are one of several drainage pathways for the brain that sits in the middle. In addition to receiving venous drainage from the brain, it also receives tributaries from parts of the face. STRUCTURE ➢ The cavernous sinuses are 1 cm wide cavities that extend a distance of 2 cm from the most posterior aspect of the orbit to the petrous part of the temporal bone. ➢ They are bilaterally paired collections of venous plexuses that sit on either side of the sphenoid bone. ➢ Although they are not truly trabeculated cavities like the corpora cavernosa of the penis, the numerous plexuses, however, give the cavities their characteristic sponge-like appearance. ➢ The cavernous sinus is roofed by an inner layer of dura matter that continues with the diaphragma sellae that covers the superior part of the pituitary gland. The roof of the sinus also has several other attachments. ➢ Anteriorly, it attaches to the anterior and middle clinoid processes, posteriorly it attaches to the tentorium (at its attachment to the posterior clinoid process). Part of the periosteum of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone forms the floor of the sinus. ➢ The body of the sphenoid acts as the medial wall of the sinus while the lateral wall is formed from the visceral part of the dura mater. CONTENTS The cavernous sinus contains the internal carotid artery and several cranial nerves. Abducens nerve (CN VI) traverses the sinus lateral to the internal carotid artery.

    The Olfactory Receptor Associated Proteome

    INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE SCHOOL OF NEUROSCIENCES (IGSN) RUHR UNIVERSITÄT BOCHUM THE OLFACTORY RECEPTOR ASSOCIATED PROTEOME Doctoral Dissertation David Jonathan Barbour Department of Cell Physiology Thesis advisor: Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Hanns Hatt Bochum, Germany (30.12.05) ABSTRACT Olfactory receptors (OR) are G-protein-coupled membrane receptors (GPCRs) that comprise the largest vertebrate multigene family (~1,000 ORs in mouse and rat, ~350 in human); they are expressed individually in the sensory neurons of the nose and have also been identified in human testis and sperm. In order to gain further insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of OR regulation, a bifurcate proteomic strategy was employed. Firstly, the question of stimulus induced plasticity of the olfactory sensory neuron was addressed. Juvenile mice were exposed to either a pulsed or continuous application of an aldehyde odorant, octanal, for 20 days. This was followed by behavioural, electrophysiological and proteomic investigations. Both treated groups displayed peripheral desensitization to octanal as determined by electro-olfactogram recordings. This was not due to anosmia as they were on average faster than the control group in a behavioural food discovery task. To elucidate differentially regulated proteins between the control and treated mice, fluorescent Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) was used. Seven significantly up-regulated and ten significantly down-regulated gel spots were identified in the continuously treated mice; four and twenty-four significantly up- and down-regulated spots were identified for the pulsed mice, respectively. The spots were excised and proteins were identified using mass spectrometry. Several promising candidate proteins were identified including potential transcription factors, cytoskeletal proteins as well as calcium binding and odorant binding proteins.

    Chapter 17: The Special Senses I. An Introduction to the Special Senses, p. 550 • The state of our nervous systems determines what we perceive. 1. For example, during sympathetic activation, we experience a heightened awareness of sensory information and hear sounds that would normally escape our notice. 2. Yet, when concentrating on a difficult problem, we may remain unaware of relatively loud noises. • The five special senses are: olfaction, gustation, vision, equilibrium, and hearing. II. Olfaction, p. 550 Objectives 1. Describe the sensory organs of smell and trace the olfactory pathways to their destinations in the brain. 2. Explain what is meant by olfactory discrimination and briefly describe the physiology involved. • The olfactory organs are located in the nasal cavity on either side of the nasal septum. Figure 17-1a • The olfactory organs are made up of two layers: the olfactory epithelium and the lamina propria. • The olfactory epithelium contains the olfactory receptors, supporting cells, and basal (stem) cells. Figure 17–1b • The lamina propria consists of areolar tissue, numerous blood vessels, nerves, and olfactory glands. • The surfaces of the olfactory organs are coated with the secretions of the olfactory glands. Olfactory Receptors, p. 551 • The olfactory receptors are highly modified neurons. • Olfactory reception involves detecting dissolved chemicals as they interact with odorant-binding proteins. Olfactory Pathways, p. 551 • Axons leaving the olfactory epithelium collect into 20 or more bundles that penetrate the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone to reach the olfactory bulbs of the cerebrum where the first synapse occurs. • Axons leaving the olfactory bulb travel along the olfactory tract to reach the olfactory cortex, the hypothalamus, and portions of the limbic system.

    Surgical Interventions for Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy: a Comprehensive Review of Current Techniques and Technologies

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Surgical Interventions for Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy: A Comprehensive Review of Current Techniques and Technologies Baharudin Abdullah * and Sharanjeet Singh Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian 16150, Kelantan, Malaysia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Surgical treatment of the inferior turbinates is required for hypertrophic inferior turbinates refractory to medical treatments. The main goal of surgical reduction of the inferior turbinate is to relieve the obstruction while preserving the function of the turbinate. There have been a variety of surgical techniques described and performed over the years. Irrespective of the techniques and technologies employed, the surgical techniques are classified into two types, the mucosal-sparing and non-mucosal-sparing, based on the preservation of the medial mucosa of the inferior turbinates. Although effective in relieving nasal block, the non-mucosal-sparing techniques have been associated with postoperative complications such as excessive bleeding, crusting, pain, and prolonged recovery period. These complications are avoided in the mucosal-sparing approach, rendering it the preferred option. Although widely performed, there is significant confusion and detachment between current practices and their basic objectives. This conflict may be explained by misperception over the myriad Citation: Abdullah, B.; Singh, S. Surgical Interventions for Inferior of available surgical techniques and misconception of the rationale in performing the turbinate Turbinate Hypertrophy: A reduction. A comprehensive review of each surgical intervention is crucial to better define each Comprehensive Review of Current procedure and improve understanding of the principle and mechanism involved.

Various morphological pos- sibilities of turbinates were reported, such as bifidity of the inferior turbinate and extra middle turbinates, such as the secondary middle turbinate. During a retrospective cone beam computed tomography study of nasal turbinates in a patient we found previously unreported variants of the superior nasal turbina- tes. These had, bilaterally, ethmoidal and sphenoidal insertions. On the right side we found a bifid superior turbinate and on the left side we found a secondary superior turbinate located beneath the normal/principal one, in the superior nasal meatus. These demonstrate that if a variant morphology is possible for a certain turbinate, it could occur in any nasal turbinate but it has not been yet observed or reported.

    B.SC - Semester 2 (Core course – Theory) Course Code – 1ZOOTC0201 Course Title - Comparative anatomy and developmental biology of vertebrates UNIT: 4 Topic : Olfactoreceptors (Organ of smell) The receptors for smell occur in the olfactory epithelium which lines the nasal sacs and open out by external nares and may also open into the buccal cavity or pharynx by internal nares Structure Olfactory epithelium is a modified pseudo stratified epithelium having three types of cell 1) Receptor cells. They are spindle –shaped bipolar neurons with rounded nuclei in the middle wide region .they are ectodermal in origin. Dendrine of an olfactory cell extends to the surface of the epithelium where it enlarges into an olfactory vesicle which bears a few (5 to12) shorts nonmotile cilia or olfactory hair,each about 2 micrometer long .the no. of olfactory here varies with the species. The olfactory vesicle contains tiny granules, one at base of each cilium, looking like the basal bodies in the ciliated cells. The unmyelinated axons start from the opposite end of the olfactory cell, from the olfactory nerves which make a direct contact with the olfactory bulb of the brain, from here, bundles of nerves fibers extended via olfactory tract to the smell center in the cerebral cortex. The olfactory cells serving as sensory receptors as well as conducting neuron. The neuron carries the impulse directly to the brain without the need of other nerve cells called nerve fibers to relay the impulse. 2) Supporting cells. These are columnar cells with oval nuclei they lie between the olfactory cell to support them.
