Two unbreakable plastic models on one hardwood base depict the nose and nasal passages enlarged to four times their normal size. A wonderful supplement to dissection because it depicts structures inaccessible in most dissections.
The model on the right depicts:
Nasal septum
Septal arteries and veins
Inner group of olfactory nerve filaments
Nasopalatine nerve
Soft and hard palate
Uvula and the cranial floor
The model on the left depicts:
Left nostril
Olfactory nerve bulb and filaments
Spheno-palatine ganglion
Communicating sinuses
Arteries and veins
Pharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube
Nasal conchae
Turbinate bone and nasolacrimal canal
