Anatomy of the Nose and Throat The nose

• The nose is the organ involved in smell and
  breathing. It is located in the middle of the
  face. The internal part of the nose lies above
  the roof of the mouth. The nose consists of
• External meatus, a triangular-shaped projection
  in the center of the face
• External nostrils, two chambers divided by the
  septum
• Septum, made up of cartilage and bone and covered
  by mucous membranes. The cartilage also gives
  support to the lower part of the nose.
• Nasal passages, which are lined with mucous
  membranes and tiny hairs (cilia) that help to
  filter the air
• Sinuses, four pairs of air-filled cavities, also
  lined with mucous membranes

Anatomy of the Nose and Throat The sinuses

• The sinuses are cavities, or air-filled pockets,
  near the nasal passage. The sinuses are lined
  with mucous membranes. There are four sinuses
• Ethmoid sinus located inside the face, around
  the area of the bridge of the nose. This sinus is
  present at birth and continues to grow until
  puberty.
• Maxillary sinus located inside the face, around
  the area of the cheeks. This sinus is also
  present at birth and continues to grow until
  puberty.
• Frontal sinus located inside the face, in the
  area of the forehead. This sinus does not develop
  until around seven years of age.
• Sphenoid sinus, located deep in the face, behind
  the nose. This sinus does not fully develop until
  adolescence.

Anatomy of the Nose and Throat The THROAT

• The throat is a ring-like muscular tube that acts
  as the passageway for air, food, and liquid. The
  throat also helps in forming speech. The throat
  consists of
• Larynx (also known as the voice box) a
  cylindrical grouping of cartilage, muscles, and
  soft tissue that contains the vocal cords. The
  vocal cords are the upper opening into the
  windpipe (trachea), the passageway to the lungs.
• Epiglottis a flap of soft tissue located just
  above the vocal cords. The epiglottis folds down
  over the vocal cords to help prevent food and
  irritants from entering the lungs.
• Tonsils and adenoids made up of lymph tissue and
  located at the back of the nose and the sides of
  the mouth. They protect against infection, but
  generally have little purpose beyond childhood.
