Definition:An embryonic cartilaginous frame, the nasal capsule, an evolutionary-conserved structure composed of ventral and dorsal components: the mesethmoid and ectethmoid cartilages, respectively.[PMID].
Comment:[taxon-note] "by the process of folding of the cartilaginous nasal capsule during fetal development, outpouchings of the main nasal chamber become enlarged (primary pneumatization) (Witmer, 1999; Macrini, 2014). The resulting paranasal recesses may or may not expand farther into the bodies of facial and basicranial bones (secondary pneumatization). Histori- cally, the result of these processes, paranasal recesses and sinuses, respectively, have not always been distin- guished (see further discussion in Rossie, 2006). Yet, in either case the nasal fossa becomes subdivided into a central nasal chamber and more peripheral paranasal chambers (Smith et al., 2014; Curtis and Van Valken- burgh, 2014)[PMID:25312359]"; [taxon-note] "In Aves: The nasal capsule is dorsoventrally divided into two parts: the upper part, the ectethmoid, serves olfaction and is composed of the lamina cribosa, the crista galli apophysis and the conchae. The lower part, the mesethmoid, is a thick cartilage bar extending from the corpus sphenoidalis to the rostral extremity of the nose (Fig. 1A-B). In the avian embryo, the mesethmoid constitutes the cartilage primordium of the upper beak."; [taxon-note] "In avians, the mesethmoid supports upper beak formation, whereas the ectethmoid comprises elements of the olfactory system, including the lamina cribosa, the crista galli apophysis and the conchae."; [taxon-note] "In most mammals, the nasal capsule remains unossified, except in mammals where the ethmoid portion ossifies to form the turbinates" xsd:string {source="ISBN:0073040584"}
