Diseases & Medical conditions of Nose
The nose is the prominent, triangular-shaped structure on the face that houses the nostrils. Positioned with its root facing upward and base downward, it is divided into left and right nostrils by the nasal septum. The nose plays a vital role in various essential functions of the human body.
Key Functions of the Nose
- Smelling (Olfaction): The nose enables us to detect different scents, enhancing our sensory experiences.
- Respiration: It facilitates breathing by directing airflow to the lungs.
- Air Conditioning: The nose regulates the temperature and humidity of inhaled air before it enters the lungs.
- Filtration: Tiny nasal hairs act as a natural filter, preventing dust, bacteria, and other foreign particles from entering the respiratory system.
Did you know? We breathe in over 500 cubic tons of air daily through our nose!
Another amazing fact: The nose alternates between nostrils while breathing, a process called the nasal cycle, which helps prevent dryness and irritation!
