Exploring the Anatomy of the Human Septum

The video tutorial explains the concept of a midsagittal cut, which divides the head into two equal halves, allowing for a detailed view of internal anatomy. It focuses on the septum, a structure made of cartilage and bone that separates the nasal cavities. The tutorial discusses the implications of a deviated septum, which can obstruct nasal passages, and describes surgical correction methods to alleviate this condition.

What does the midsagittal cut allow us to observe?

• The back of the head

• The outer structure of the head

• The internal anatomy of the head

• The top view of the head

What is the septum primarily composed of?

• Fat and tissue

• Nerves and blood vessels

• Muscle and skin

• Cartilage and bone

What is the function of the septum?

• To support the eyes

• To separate the nasal cavities

• To connect the ears

• To protect the brain

What happens when the septum is deviated?

• It changes color

• It becomes longer

• It causes the nose to grow

• It pushes into one side of the nasal cavity

How is a deviated septum typically corrected?

• By adding more cartilage

• By removing part of the cartilage

• By reshaping the bone

• By using medication
