Innervation of the nasal septum is shared among the olfactory, nasopalatine, and nasociliary nerves, which together provide sensory input and contribute to the sense of smell. The olfactory nerve occupies the superior portion of the septum, detecting airborne chemicals and transmitting smell information to the brain. The nasopalatine nerve, a branch of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve, supplies general sensation to the posterior and inferior regions of the septum. The nasociliary nerve, from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve, covers the anterosuperior part of the septum. This layered innervation supports both olfactory perception and protective sensory reflexes.
