Nose and sinuses, CT scan
Nose anatomy and sinuses. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a frontal view through the nose of a 31 year old woman. At lower centre, channels (yellow) formed by the nasal conchae reveal the internal anatomy of the nose. Two frontal sinuses (blue) are seen above the nasal passages and these air-filled cavities lined with mucous membrane form some of the facial sinuses around the nose. The eye sockets with eyeballs (red) are visible as well as tissue of the brain (purple, at top) protected by the skull bones (white). The sinuses lighten the weight of the skull and improve the resonance of the voice

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate anatomy of the nose and sinuses. In this frontal view CT scan, we get a glimpse into the internal structures of a 31-year-old woman's nasal cavity. The image is enhanced with vibrant colors to highlight key features. At the lower center, we can observe channels formed by the nasal conchae, which provide insight into the complex internal structure of the nose. Above these passages, two frontal sinuses are visible in blue. These air-filled cavities lined with mucous membrane contribute to the facial sinuses surrounding the nose. The photo also reveals other significant elements such as eye sockets containing vivid red eyeballs and brain tissue portrayed in purple at the top of the image. The skull bones (depicted in white) protect this delicate brain matter. It is interesting to note that apart from their protective function, these sinuses serve an additional purpose – they lighten the weight of our skulls and enhance vocal resonance. Overall, this stunning visual representation offers a comprehensive understanding of various components within our facial structure. It serves as a testament to both human complexity and scientific advancement in imaging technology like computed tomography scans (CT scans).
