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 ethmoid contributes to the central portion of nasal septum. It is one of the most complex bones in the human body, and its structure is beyond the scope of this article. The anterior and posterior parts are formed by the septal cartilage and vomer bone respectively. The floor of the nasal cavity is formed by the hard palate, separating it from the oral cavity.
