Book Description

Excerpt from Philadelphia Medical Times, 1881-1882, Vol. 12: A Bi-Weekly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science The physiological functions of these cavities - viz., the warming, moistening, and filtering from dust of the air in respi ration, and the qualifying of the tones of the voice by resonance, which latter I have endeavored to prove in a papt read before the American Laryngological Association, session of 1881 - 1 will not here enlarge upon, but would say a few words in regard to one peculiarity in the histology of the nasal mucous membrane where it lines the turbinated bones. In this location we find that the submucous tissue which is inter posed between the mucous membrane proper and the periosteum of the turbi mated bones, and which contains the race mose mucous glands, is composed of strong bands of elastic connective tissue inter lacing with each other, thus forming meshes irregular in size and shape, which contain true venous sinuses lined with endothelium.
