Cleaned, moistened, heated
What are the functions of the external nares in humans?
External nares ( Nostrils) are the openings formed by the external nose that open into the nasal cavity.
What parts of respiratory system clean air?
The mucus produced by the epithelial cells serves to trap dust particles, and the cilia gradually push them back out.
Superior and middle nasal conchae formed from its projection?

What are the 6 parts of the respiratory system?
The six main parts of the respiratory system are the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The nasal cavity warms and filters air, while the pharynx serves as a passageway for air and food. The larynx contains the vocal cords and directs air into the trachea, which branches into the bronchi leading to the lungs. The lungs are responsible for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled.
What is the gateway to the nasal cavity?
Naris (nostril) Cribriform plate (roof of the cavity) Sphenopalatine foramen (on lateral wall) Incisive canal (on cavity floor between nasal cavity & Palate)
What connects orbit to nasal cavity?
The ethmoid bone connects the orbit to the nasal cavity. It forms part of the side walls and roof of the nasal cavity, and also contributes to the medial wall of the orbit.
What is the passage that connects the nostril and the upper part of the throat?
Nasal Cavity
What duct connects the lacrimal apparatus to nasal cavity?
nasolacrimal duct
Is the esophagus a passageway that connects the mouth to the nose?
No, the esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, allowing food and liquids to pass through for digestion. The nose connects to the throat through the pharynx, which is a different passage from the esophagus.
What are the part of nose?
Nostrils, Septum, Nasal cavity and the olfactory bulb
What is transphenoidal hypophysectomy?
Surgically removing the pituitary gland through the nasal cavity, going through the sphenoid bone/sinuses of the skull.
Does the nose connect to the pharynx at the nasal meatuses?
Yes, the nose connects to the pharynx at the posterior nasal apertures, also known as the choanae, in the nasal cavity. These are openings at the back of the nasal cavity that lead to the nasopharynx.
Is the nasal cavity continuous?
Yes, the nasal cavity is continuous and extends from the nostrils to the back of the throat, where it connects to the throat and the rest of the respiratory system. The nasal cavity is lined with mucous membranes that help to warm, moisten, and filter the air we breathe.
What is behind the nasal cavity?
Behind the nasal cavity is the nasopharynx, which is the upper part of the throat that connects the nose to the mouth and the voice box. It plays a role in directing air flow and preventing food from entering the nasal passages.
What is the meaning of Nasopharynx?
A Nasopharynx is the upper part of the Pharynx. It connects with the nasal cavity above the soft palate. It is a direct continuation of the nasal passages.
How many cavities does the human nose have?
The human nose contains several cavities, primarily the nasal cavity, which is divided into two halves by the nasal septum. Each half of the nasal cavity has three turbinates (or conchae) that help filter, warm, and humidify incoming air. Additionally, the nose is connected to the paranasal sinuses, which are air-filled spaces that include the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. Overall, while the primary cavity is the nasal cavity, the associated sinuses contribute to the overall structure of the nasal area.
