The lamina propria plays a role in supporting the nasal epithelium and maintaining the nasal lining's barrier function. Damage to this layer can disrupt these functions and lead to symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and discomfort.
What part of the respiratory passageway primarily functions to warm humidify and filter inhaled air?
nasal cavity
What is the function of the middle nasal conchae?
The middle nasal conchae help to increase the surface area in the nasal cavity, which aids in humidifying, warming, and filtering the air as it passes through the nose before reaching the lungs. This structure plays a role in respiratory functions and helps in capturing dust and particles from the inhaled air.
