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 nasal cavity is divided by a vertical partition (the ânasal septumâ) into a right and left side. The nasal septum is made up of cartilage (quadrangular cartilage) towards the front of the nose, and bone towards the back.
