What increases air turbulance in the nasal cavity?
The inferior nasal conchae create turbulence in air passing through the nasal cavity, and increase the epithelial surface area to promote warming and humidification of inhaled air.
Why is increased air turbulance in nasal cavity important?
Increased air turbulance in the nasal cavity helps moisten and warm the air before it gets to your lungs. Have you ever taken a breath of air on a cold winter day and it hurts your lungs? So increasing the amount of time before it gets to the lungs helps prep the air so you do no harm to them
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.
What is the use of nasal cavity?
The nasal cavity conditions the air to be recived by the other areas of the respiratory tract.
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.
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
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
What filters the air you breath?
mucosa in your nasal cavity
What is the passageway of air from the nasal cavity to the trachea?
bronchiole
