Where is the nasal conchea?
They are bones in the nasal cavity (or parts of other bones in the nasal cavity) that cause turbulence in the air moving through the nasal cavity. This will warm and moisten the air to help protect the lungs. There are three conchae in the nasal cavity, a superior, middle and inferior conchae (aka turbinates).
What structures warm moisten filter air?
Nasal cavity mucosa... as air passes thru the nasal cavity, it's warmed, moistened, and filtered by the nasal cavity mucosa. The air that flows directly beneath the superior part of the nasal cavity may stimulate the olfactory receptors in the mucosa region.
How does nasal cavity help filter the air you breathe?
There are tiny hairs called Cilia which line the nasal cavity. These hairs help trap dust particles which are then expelled out the nose.
What occurs in the nasal cavity?
The nasal cavity filters, humidifies and warms incoming air. It also contains olfactory receptors.
Description of nasal cavity?
Our nostrils help us breathe air but have you ever wondered where does that air go? Well our air goes up our nostrils and then enters what we call a nasal cavity
Increases air turbulance in the nasal cavity?
The scroll-shaped conchae increase the turbulenceof air flowing through the nasal cavity.

What is the use of nasal cavity?
The nasal cavity conditions the air to be recived by the other areas of the respiratory tract.

Order of air passage from nasal cavity to alveoli?
Nasal Cavity, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli.
What is a air cavity in the bone?
Nasal or sinus
How is the nose ear and tongue connected?
The nasal cavity and inner ear are connected through the Eustachian tubes, small mucus-lined tubes that help to stabilized air pressure in the inner ear to prevent the eardrum from rupturing. When you fly and your ears "pop", it is the Eustachian tubes that have opened up to allow the air pressure in the inner ear to equilibrate with the ambient air pressure. The tongue is in the oral cavity, which communicates with the nasal cavity at the back of the throat.

What is the passageway of air from the nasal cavity to the trachea?
bronchiole
