Xantus Hummingbird Species. Xantus Hummingbird is a medium-sized hummingbird that can only be found in Baja, California. The bird is deemed to be the most distinctive among the few Baja specialty birds. It grows to a length of 3-3.5 inches, and weighs about 3-4 grams upon maturity. It was named after a Hungarian zoologist, John Xantus de Vesey.
The nasal septum, the division between the left and right airways of the nose, is made of three structures: the vomer bone, perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone, and its cartilage.
The top third of the nasal skeleton, near the eyes, is composed of the nasal bones. The lower two thirds is composed of cartilage. The septum also forms an integral part of the nasal skeleton. It is a vertical wall that separates the two sides of the nose. Many people have a certain degree of deviation of this septum rendering the space in the two sides of the nose asymmetrical. This does not usually pose a problem. However, a small number of people have a deviation severe enough to cause a significant narrowing of the breathing passage on one or both sides of the nose.
