Dissection of nasal fossae, nasal pharynx, and palate
Blood vessels and nerves of nasal septum, left lateral view
The lateral wall of the nasal fossa has been resected and the palate cut to the left of the midline. The septal mucous membrane has been dissected to reveal the olfactory nerves (1) and branches of the sphenopalatine and ethmoidal nerves and blood vessels. The tongue has been pulled to the left and inferiorly. The relation of the lingual nerve to the submaxillary duct (9) is shown.
