Anatomy of the Nose and Sinuses

The lacrimal sinus is not a paranasal sinus. It is a small cavity located within the lacrimal bone, which is part of the orbit.

The maxillary sinus is the largest of the paranasal sinuses. It is located within the maxilla, which is the upper jawbone.

The mandible does not contribute to the formation of the nasal cavity. It is the lower jawbone.

The nasal conchae perform all of the functions listed. They help to warm and humidify inhaled air, filter dust and other particles from inhaled air, and produce mucus.

Glomerular cells are not olfactory receptor neurons. They are neurons located in the olfactory bulb.

The olfactory nerve is the nerve that carries olfactory information from the nose to the brain.

Sneezing is not a symptom of sinusitis. It is a symptom of the common cold.

Viruses are the most common cause of sinusitis.

Surgery is not a treatment for sinusitis. It is only used in cases of severe sinusitis that does not respond to other treatments.

Polypectomy is the procedure used to remove a polyp from the nose.

Smoking is not a risk factor for developing nasal polyps.

Septal deviation is the condition in which the nasal septum is deviated.

Sneezing is not a symptom of septal deviation.

Septoplasty is the procedure used to correct a deviated nasal septum.

Smoking is not a risk factor for developing a deviated nasal septum.
