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.
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).
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
Do paranasal sinuses open into the oral cavity?
No, paranasal sinuses do not open directly into the oral cavity. They are connected to the nasal cavity and help to warm, humidify, and filter the air we breathe. The oral cavity is separate and has its own openings for the passage of air, food, and saliva.
How does the mucus lining in the nasal cavity help in smell detection?
The air carrying the smell would dissolve in it and hence it changes to electrical signals which goes to the olfactory lobes.

What are the bony ridges that warm air called?
The bony ridges that warm the air as it travels through the nasal cavity are called turbinate bones or nasal conchae. They help to increase the surface area of the nasal cavity to aid in warming, humidifying, and filtering incoming air before it reaches the lungs.
When you sniff to help you detect or identify odors you are?
forcing air to the top of the nasal cavity where olfactory chemoreceptors are located.
What system help us breathe?
the respiratory system since that is where your lungs are located
What organs help up breathe?
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchi, lungs I think this is all

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 function of the Nasal Conchae?
The nasal conchae increase the surface area of the cavity to warm, moisten, and filter the air and also to help direct air flow to warm, moisten, and filter small particulates from the inhaled air. When air enters the nostrils, it passes first through the vestibule, which is lined by skin containing coarse hairs that filter out large dust particles. Three shelves formed by projections of the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae extend out of each lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
What are your cilia cells?
They are the cells that the hairs in your nostrils connect too. They are the cells that let the hair grow and move which is important because they help filter particles that enter the nasal cavity.
