Anatomy of the Nose and Nasal Cavity

Introduction to the Respiratory System

• The video begins with an introduction to the anatomy of the nose and nasal cavity, emphasizing its role in the respiratory system.

Structure of the Nose

• The nose is primarily composed of cartilage, including:

• Lateral nasal cartilages.

• Major alar cartilages.

• Minor alar cartilages.

• The septum, made up of cartilage and bone, divides the nasal cavities into right and left sides.

Nasal Cavities

• Superior nasal conchae (cornetes).

• Middle nasal conchae (cornetes).
