It may extendover the whole side of the face and last for three or four weeks. The use of salt solutions and glucose is discussed under Glaucoma (pages131 and 132). Dionin has a wide range of usefulness (see page 118). THE NOSE Anatomy.—For purposes of treatment the nose includes the two nasal cavities which areseparated by the septum, the accessory sinuses which communicate with the nasal cavities,and the external nose. The septum (Fig. 748) is composed of bone and cartilage, coveredwith mucous Fig. 847.—Nasal Cavity. Section at a vertical transverse plane, looking forward through nasal cavities. Orbital cavities are above and at the sides. Of the three turbinated bones (or turbinals), the two upper are part of the ethmoid, thelower is a separate bone. The superior meatus is situated between the superior and middleturbinals, and into it open the sphenoidal sinus and the posterior ethmoidal cells. Themiddle meatus is between the middle and lower turbinals, and into it opens the frontalsinus, the maxillary sinus, and the anterior ethmoidal cells. The inferior meatus is betweenthe lower turbinal and the floor of the nose, and contains the inferior orifice of the nasalduct which is about 2 cm. (% inch) from the floor of the nose (Fig. 847). The several accessory sinuses all communicate with one another and with the nasalcavity. The largest, the an
