  2. Nasal septum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_septum

    The nasal septum contains bone and hyaline cartilage. [3] It is normally about 2 mm thick. [4] The nasal septum is composed of four structures: Maxillary bone (the crest) Perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone. Septal nasal cartilage (ie, quandrangular cartilage) Vomer bone. The lowest part of the septum is a narrow strip of bone that projects ...

  3. Human nose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_nose

    The human nose is the first organ of the respiratory system. It is also the principal organ in the olfactory system. The shape of the nose is determined by the nasal bones and the nasal cartilages, including the nasal septum, which separates the nostrils and divides the nasal cavity into two. The nose has an important function in breathing.

  4. Nasal cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cavity

    Nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a large, air-filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. The nasal septum divides the cavity into two cavities, [1] also known as fossae. [2] Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils. The nasal cavity is the uppermost part of the respiratory system and provides the nasal ...

  5. Septal area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septal_area

    Septal area. The septal area ( medial olfactory area ), consisting of the lateral septum and medial septum, is an area in the lower, posterior part of the medial surface of the frontal lobe, and refers to the nearby septum pellucidum . The septal nuclei are located in this area. The septal nuclei are composed of medium-size neurons which are ...

  6. Nasal bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_bridge

    Nasal bridge. Nasal bridge is the bony part of the nose, overlying the nasal bones, above the part in blue labeled "Cartilage of Septum". The bridge is between the eyes, and just below them. The lower half of the nose is below the bridge. The nasal bridge is the upper, bony part of the nose, which overlies the nasal bones .

  7. Heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart

    The septum is part of the cardiac skeleton, tissue within the heart that the electrical signal cannot pass through, which forces the signal to pass through the atrioventricular node only. The signal then travels along the bundle of His to left and right bundle branches through to the ventricles of the heart.

  8. Interventricular septum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventricular_septum

    The interventricular septum is the stout wall separating the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart, from one another. The ventricular septum is directed obliquely backward to the right and curved with the convexity toward the right ventricle; its margins correspond with the anterior and posterior longitudinal sulci.

  9. Septal nasal cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septal_nasal_cartilage

    The septal nasal cartilage ( cartilage of the septum or quadrangular cartilage) is composed of hyaline cartilage. [1] It is somewhat quadrilateral in form, thicker at its margins than at its center, and completes the separation between the nasal cavities in front. Its anterior margin, thickest above, is connected with the nasal bones, and is ...

  10. Atrioventricular septum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septum

    FMA. 7136. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The atrioventricular septum is a septum of the heart between the right atrium (RA) and the left ventricle (LV). [1] [2] Although the name "atrioventricular septum" implies any septum between an atrium and a ventricle, in practice the divisions from RA to RV and from LA to LV are mediated by ...

  11. Nasal mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_mucosa

    The nasal mucosa lines the nasal cavity. It is part of the respiratory mucosa, the mucous membrane lining the respiratory tract. [1] [2] The nasal mucosa is intimately adherent to the periosteum or perichondrium of the nasal conchae. It is continuous with the skin through the nostrils, and with the mucous membrane of the nasal part of the ...
