Parts and Function of The Nose and Mouth

The nose and mouth have several important functions. The nose warms, filters, and humidifies air during breathing and is also responsible for smell. It has external cartilage and internal bones including the maxilla and frontal bones. The mouth is where ingestion begins and contains structures like teeth, tongue, hard and soft palates for chewing and swallowing. Common issues include sinusitis, rhinitis, and oral infections. Maintaining oral hygiene is important for overall health.

PARTS AND FUNCTION OF THE NOSE

AND MOUTH
NOSE
•The nose is the part of the
respiratory tract superior to the
hard palate.
•It contains the peripheral organ
of smell.
Function of Nose

1.Breathing
2.Air conditioning of inspired air
3.Protection of lower airway
4.Ventilation and drainage of p.n.s
5.Olfaction
6.Nasal resistance
7.Vocal resonance
8.Nasal refluxes
EXTERNAL NOSE
•Is the visible portion that projects from the face.
•Its skeleton is mainly cartilaginous.
EXTERNAL NOSE also
functions to protect the inner
nose and allows the entry of
air.
Bony component: nasal,
maxillae and frontal bones
Cartilaginous component: alar
cartilages (major, minor), lateral
processes, septal cartilage
Bony Components
Of the
Nose
The nasal skeleton is a
combination of bone and
cartilage which forms
both what we can see as
the external nose and the
internal nasal septum -
which divides the two
nasal cavities of the
head.
The maxilla is the
bone that forms
your upper jaw. 

FUNCTION:
helps to make up
the skull.
FRONTAL LOBE- is the bony part of
the nose. 
Frontal
Lobe
The primary functions of the
frontal bone are to protect the
brain and support the
structures of the head, such as
the nasal passages and eyes.
CARTILAGINOUS
COMPONENT
OF THE
NOSE
Alar Cartilage
(major,minor)

The inferior portion


of the nose is made
up of hyaline
cartilages; lateral,
major alar, minor
alar, and the
cartilaginous septum
FUNCTION:
•major alar cartilage forms
the apex of the nose.
•minor alar cartilages
support the ala nasi.
LATERAL PROCESSES/CARTILAGE
Where the lateral cartilage meets the greater alar cartilage,
the lateral cartilage often curls up, to join with an inward curl of
the greater alar cartilage
The septal nasal cartilage
(cartilage of the septum or
quadrangular cartilage) is
composed of hyaline cartilage.
It is somewhat quadrilateral in
form, thicker at its margins than
at its center, and completes the
separation between the nasal
cavities in front.
NASAL
CAVITY
The nasal cavity lies
above the bone that
forms the roof of the
mouth and curves
down at the back to
join the throat.
TWELVE (12) CRANIAL BONE

PAIRED
1.Nasal bone
2.Maxilla bone
3.Platine bone
4.Lacrimal bone

UNPAIRED
1.Ethmoid
2.Sphenoid
3Frintal bone
4.Vomer bone
The nasal
“dorsum” is the
bone-and-cartilage
structure that
connects your nose
to your face.
The dorsum
nasi is the length of
the nose.
The root is the region
of the nose located
between the eyebrows.

The nasal root is


above the bridge and
below the glabella.
The bridge of the nose
is the hard area before the
soft cartilage of the
nostrils. 

Nasal bridge is the bony part


of the nose, overlying the
nasal bones, above the part
in blue labeled “Cartilage of
Septum”
The nose has two
holes called nostrils.
The nostrils and the
nasal passages are
separated by a wall
called the septum.

FUNCTION: allow air


to enter the nose and
pass into the nasal
cavity.
Nose hair function: catches catches dirt, viruses,
and bacteria. It can also include dangerous particles
put there by pollution.
CILLIA HAIRS
Bone Function. This supports the bridge of the nose.
It helps shape the nostrils and the tip of the nose.
Skin. This also helps shape
the nose.
Septum Function It divides the
inside of the nose into 2 parts.
Turbinate Function they warm and moisten
the air you breathe in.
Mucous membrane Function. It also makes the
sticky mucus that helps clean the air of dust and
other small particles.
BOOGER-When the mucus, dirt, and other debris
get dry and clump together, you’re left with a booger.
A runny nose can be caused
by anything that irritates or
inflames the nasal tissues.
Infections — such as the
common cold and influenza
— allergies and various
irritants may all cause a
runny nose.
Nose bleeding nosebleed happens
when one of the blood vessels in the
lining of the nose bursts. 
OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM
COMMON DISEASES IN NOSE

• Sinusitis – Sinusitis is an inflammation of the


sinuses that can cause them to get blocked and
filled with fluid
• Allergic rhinitis – Allergic Rhinitis Can Be
Triggered By Pollen,
• Nasal polyps - noncancerous growths on the
lining of your nasal passages or sinuses.
TIPS TO MAKE YOUR NOSE HEALTHY

• Clean your nose daily


• Eat Bright colored vegetables and
fruits such as berries, kiwi,
pumpkin, papaya, sweet potatoes,
and pineapple
PARTS AND
FUNCTION OF
THE MOUTH 👄
MOUTH
-Is the initial point of entry of food into GI tract
-Is the site for beginning the breakdown of food
into its constituent molecules for absorption into
the body.
LIPS CHEEKS. TOUNGE
TEETH SALIVARY PALATE
GLANDS
FUNCTIONS
LIPS(LABIA) – Protect the anterior opening

CHEEKS- Form.the lateral walls

HARD PALATE- Forms the anterior roof

SOFT PALATE- Form thes the posterior roof

ULVULA- Fleshy projection of the soft Palate.


Vestibule – Space between lips
externally and teeth and gums internally.
FUNCTION
Kept moist by secretions from the
parotid salivary glands, which are
located in front of the ears and behind
the angle of the jaw.
Oral Cavity –
Area contained
by the teeth.
Tounge – attached at hyroid and styroid
processes of the skull,and by the lingual
frenulum.
ANATOMY OF THE TOUNGE
FUNCTION
As a digestive organ by facilitating the
movement of food during mastication and
assisting swallowing. Other important
functions include speech and taste.
TONSILS

PLATINE TONSILS and LINGUAL TONSILS


TONSIL CONDITIONS

• Acute tonsillitis
• Chronic tonsillitis
• Peritonsillar abscess
• Acute mononucleosis
• Step throat
• Enlarged tonsils
•Tonsilloliths
PROCESSES OF THE MOUTH

• Mastication (chewing) of food


• Mixing masticated food with saliva
• Initiation of swallowing by the tounge
• Allowing for the Sense of taste
THE PALATE

• Separates the mouth from nasal cavity


• Ulvula hangs down from soft palate.
FUNCTION
Soft palate creates a vacuum in the oral
cavity, which keeps food out of the
respiratory tract.

Hard palate provides space for the


tongue to move freely and supplies a
rigid floor to the nasal cavity
TEETH

Your teeth are divided into four types: incisors,


cuspids, premolars and molars.
FUNCTION
Teeth are used for catching and
masticating food, for defense, and for
other specialized purposes.
COMMON MOUTH INFECTIONS
1.Dental Cavities – Also known as caries, cavities are typically the
result of tooth decay.
2.Gingivitis – Gingivitis can be caused by different species of
bacteria and is the earliest stage of gum disease.
3.Periodontal disease – With periodontal disease, pockets of pus
begin to form underneath the gum line, leading to more
inflammation and bone tissue loss.
4.Hand,foot and mouth disease – Children under the age of
12 are most likely to develop this disease.
5.Herpangina – This disease is related to hand, foot, and
mouth disease. It affects mostly children under the age of 10
during the summer and fall months.
6.Thrush – An overgrowth of Candida Albicans fungus leads
to this infection.
7.Canker sores – These are lesions in the mouth and gum
tissue.
TIPS TO MAKE YOUR MOUTH HEALTHY
• Good oral care routine
• Visit your dentist regularly, even if you have
no natural teeth and have dentures.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol
• Drink fluoridated water and use fluoride
toothpaste.
