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 septum is made of bone and cartilage and spans the nasal cavity from the nostrils to the back of the throat. Ideally, the septum is straight and equally divides the two sides of the nasal cavity. However, in many people the septum has a slight bend, making one side of the cavity smaller than the other.
