noses have their own unique charm and functions! 🌿 First, let’s talk about the external parts. The bridge is the elevated part that connects your forehead to the tip of your nose. The tip, also known as the apex, adds character to your face. And don’t forget the nostrils—those openings that allow air to flow in and out. 💨
Inside, the nose is a wonderland of tiny structures. The nasal cavity is lined with mucosa, which warms, humidifies, and cleanses the air we breathe. Tiny hair-like structures called cilia work hard to trap dust and germs. 🦠 Below, there’s a framework made mostly of cartilage for flexibility and bone for support.
The nose also plays a role in our sense of smell. Olfactory receptors detect odors, sending signals to the brain. 🧠 This helps us enjoy food aromas and even warns us of danger. So next time you sniff something delightful or unpleasant, remember: your nose is doing its job! 🤗
