The nasal cavity is a large, air-filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. The nasal septum divides the cavity into two cavities, [ 1] also known as fossae. [ 2] Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils. The nasal cavity is the uppermost part of the respiratory system and provides the nasal passage for ...

It is continuous with the skin through the nostrils, and with the mucous membrane of the nasal ...
A nose is a sensory organ and respiratory structure in vertebrates. It consists of a nasal cavity inside the head, and an external nose on the face. The external nose houses the nostrils, or nares, a pair of tubes providing airflow through the nose for respiration. Where the nostrils pass through the nasal cavity they widen, are known as nasal ...
In most cases of sinus barotrauma, localized pain to the frontal area is the predominant symptom. This is due to pain originating from the frontal sinus, it being above the brow bones. Less common is pain referred to the temporal, occipital, or retrobulbar region. Epistaxis or serosanguineous secretion from the nose may occur.
The nasal cartilages are structures within the nose that provide form and support to the nasal cavity. [ 1] The nasal cartilages are made up of a flexible material called hyaline cartilage (packed collagen) in the distal portion of the nose. [ 2] There are five individual cartilages that make up the nasal cavity: septal nasal cartilage, lateral ...
