FACULTY , GHSB, OLFU
Unit Outline
At the end of the topic, student can
 Describe accurately the features of the external and internal nose
 Including their framework, blood and nerve supplies
 Walls of the nasal cavity & communication with oropharynx
 Describe location of paranasal sinuses including their
communication with nasal cavity
 Discuss divisions of the oral cavity including its contents
 Name parts of the pharynx including its muscles
