Legend to the illustrations in the print:
Fig. 29, left side of the nose of an adult, the cuticle supposed to be
removed for the purpose of more clearly exhibiting the openings of the
sebaceous follicles. Fig. 30, lateral view of the bones and
cartilages of the nose: a, a, skin of the nose; b, left nasal bone; c,
left superior lateral cartilage; d, left alar cartilage with its three
appendages, e, f,g, which are attached to each other by the ligaments
h,i,k. Fig. 31, anterior view of the nasal cartilages: a, b,
nasal bones; c, d, superior lateral cartilages; e, septum; f,f small
cartilages proceeding from it; g-o, alar cartilages with their three
appendages. Fig. 32, outline view of the preceding figure.
Fig. 33, inferior view of the nasal cartilages: a, b, c, d, outline of
the nose; e, septal or median cartilage; f extremity of
the upper jaw to which it is attached; g-lf, alar
cartilage of the left side with its three appendages; i-o, dtto of the
right side. Fig. 34, superior lateral cartilage of the
nose. Fig. 35, septal cartilage of the nose.
Fig. 36, left alar cartilage. Fig. 37, do. with its three
appendages (from without). Fig. 38, do. from within. Figs.
39 and 40, the three small cartilaginous appendages, without and within.
The essential conditions of smell, however, are not
yet satisfactorily ascertained ; so much is certain, that the odorous
particles must come in contact with the nerves, and especially by being
inhaled in ordinary nasal respiration. If the breath be held, no
perception of odor takes place, and if a piece of camphor be held in
the closed mouth during nasal exhalation, comparatively little odor
will be perceived. The particles of matter, nevertheless, do not
come into immediate contact with the nerves, since the mucus of the
nose is interposed, together with the basement membrane of the
Schneiderian. It may be that solution in the mucus is
necessary to this sense, as when the nasal passages are dry it is much
enfeebled. Fig. 27 a, a portion of the Schneiderian membrane with its
nerves of natural size; fig. 27, b, the same magnified three diameters:
a, b, dura mater; c—f section of the Schneiderian membrane; g,g,
section of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone; h,h foramina in it
for the transmission of nervous filaments; i, branch of the olfactory
nerve, cut off to show the following branch k with the manner of its
escape from the dura mater l, and the passage
of the nerve through the bone
m; n, o, p, arteries of the
Schneiderian membrane. Fig. 26, distribution of the olfactory
nerve on the septum of the nose: a, b, c, d, nerves of the olfactory;
e, nervous branch from the fifth pair; f-g, superior posterior nasal
nerves from the second branch of the fifth pair; A, superior cutaneous
nasal nerve, from the infraorbital nerve; i, k, apparent boundary
of the branches of the olfactory nerve. Fig. 28, nervous plexus
of tlie lining membrane of the nose: 1-8. basal extremities of the
first eight cerebral nerves; a—d, olfactory-bulbs with their threads,
12,13, passing through the cribriform plate; 9 to 12 larger portion of
the fifth pair of nerves; e,f, g, first branch of the fifth pair.
