1. Definition[Bearbeiten]
The term nasal wall refers to the lateral and medial border of the nasal cavity.
2. Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
A distinction is made between the medial and lateral nasal wall.
2.1. Medial nasal wall[Bearbeiten]
The medial nasal wall is smooth and is formed by the nasal septum. The ploughshare bone (vomer) and the lamina perpendicularis of the ethmoid bone (Os ethmoidale) are involved in its bony structure. The cartilaginous part is mainly formed by the septal cartilage (cartilago septi nasi).
2.2. Lateral nasal wall[Bearbeiten]
The lateral nasal wall is strongly raised and has the three nasal conchae (Conchae nasales) and the nasal passages (Meati nasi) between them as its most conspicuous feature. It is formed for the most part by the maxilla, as well as the ethmoid bone, the palatine bone and the inferior nasal concha.
