MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hairlike structures called cilia line the mucous membrane and move the particles trapped in the mucus out of the nose. Inhaled air is moistened, warmed, and cleansed by the tissue that lines the nasal cavity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Turbinates (conchae): There are three pairs of turbinates located along the sides of both nasal cavities. These folds inside your nose help warm and moisten air after you breathe it in and help with nasal drainage.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the nostrils, air gets warmed and moistened. Tiny hairs in the nose called cilia (SIL-ee-uh) filter out dust and other particles. The nasal cavity and mouth join at the area in the back of the throat called the pharynx (FAR-inks).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Paranasal Sinuses Surround the Nasal Cavities Mucosae line the paranasal sinuses and help to warm and humidify the air we inhale.
