Nerven der Nasenhöhle

This tutorial explores the anatomy and function of the nasal cavity, focusing on the nerves involved. It covers the nasal cavity's roles in warming, humidifying, and filtering air, as well as its anatomy, including the nasal septum and related bones. The tutorial details the sources of nerve innervation, particularly the olfactory nerve, and explains how these nerves contribute to the sense of smell and other sensory functions. It also highlights the clinical significance of these nerves, discussing potential injuries and conditions like anosmia.

What is one of the primary functions of the nasal cavity?

• To produce saliva

• To digest food

• To filter and humidify air

• To circulate blood

Which bones form the hard palate?

• Maxilla and OS Palatinum

• Frontal and parietal bones

• Temporal and occipital bones

• Nasal and vomer bones

Which nerve passes through the foramen sveno palatina?

• Olfactory nerve

• Naso palatinus nerve

• Optic nerve

• Facial nerve

What is the primary role of the olfactory nerve?

• To sense touch

• To regulate heart rate

• To control eye movement

• To detect odors

Which nerve is responsible for the sense of smell?

• Optic nerve

• Olfactory nerve

• Facial nerve

• Vagus nerve

Which nerve is responsible for detecting touch, pain, and temperature in the nasal cavity?

• Facial nerve
