00:01
The nasal cavity has a
very rich arterial supply.
00:05
So here we see the arterial
supply of the lateral wall.
00:09
Here we see the superior,
middle and inferior concha.
00:14
And a branch called the
anterior ethmoidal artery.
00:21
Here we see the
external nasal branch
of the anterior ethmoidal artery
supplying more
external features.
00:30
We also have the Alar branch
of the lateral nasal branch
which is off of
the facial artery
and again, Alar refers to the
areas sort of around the nostril.
00:41
We also have a posterior
ethmoidal artery more posteriorly,
and a sphenopalatine artery.
00:50
And here we see some of those
posterior lateral nasal branches
of the sphenopalatine artery.
00:57
We also have a little bit coming
from the greater palatine artery.
01:03
In terms of the nasal septum,
it also has a very
rich blood supply.
01:08
Here we see septal branches of
the anterior ethmoidal artery.
01:13
So while the septal branches of
the posterior ethmoidal artery.
01:17
We also have septal branches
from the nasal artery,
which is off of the
superior labial artery,
labial, again,
referring to lips,
so this is an artery
going along the upper lip.
01:29
We also have septal branches
of that sphenopalatine artery.
01:35
We also have a little
passageway through there
for the terminal part of
the greater palatine artery
coming from that
sphenopalatine artery.
01:44
Venous drainage,
is going to be up through
things like the nasal vein,
draining to the superior sagittal
sinus inside the cranial cavity.
01:54
And that's a rare connection
from something outside the brain
into the cranial cavity.
02:00
So this is actually draining
through those dural venous sinuses.
02:05
Other drainage is more commonly
through the facial vein
which is more superficial.
02:13
We also have drainage
more posterior really
into the cavernous sinus
in the cranial cavity.
02:18
Again, that's a deep structure.
02:22
We also have drainage
to the pterygoid plexus,
which was that large
collection of veins
that we saw the
infratemporal fossa.
02:31
In terms of innovation,
here we see the anterior ethmoid
with external nasal branches
of that anterior ethmoid supplying
the outer portions of the nose.
02:43
We also have internal nasal
branches of the infraorbital nerve,
a branch of the maxillary
division of trigeminal.
02:53
We have nasal branches of the
anterior superior alveolar nerve
which are also supplying
the upper teeth.
03:00
And we have through the
sphenopalatine foramen here.
03:04
We have posterior superior
lateral nasal nerves.
03:08
As well as posterior inferior
lateral nasal nerves.
03:13
And then very different from
sensation but more for smell,
we have the cranial
nerve one branches
going up through the cribriform
plate to meet the olfactory bulb.
