Abstract

Objective: to examine peculiarities of the human nasal septum at the juvenile age, to determine the character of anatomical changes, age individual variability, progressive and regressive reformations. Methods. 20 biological specimens of the nasal septum at the juvenile age of human ontogenesis were examined by means of morphological methods. Peculiarities of the nasal septum structure at this period of development were studied according to the main aim of research. Results. Structural changes transforming the nasal septum occur at the juvenile age. Small crests are found in the point of junction of the osseous part with the cartilaginous one. In case the nasal septum is curved to the left the crests are found on the side of curvature (2 specimens) and on the side opposite to curvature (3 specimens). A small depression is found on two specimens (10%) in the anterior-inferior portion of the nasal septum (Jacobson’s organ rudiment/vomeronasal organ). The majority of glands are found in the submucous layer of the nasal septum. The mucous membrane of the nasal septum is lined with high columnar ciliated epithelium. Conclusions. 1. Small crests are found in the point of junction of the osseous part with the cartilaginous one. 2. The majority of glands are found in the submucous layer of the nasal septum. 3. The biggest concentration of the blood vessels is found in the anterior-inferior portion of the nasal septum.
