How does the nasal cavity moisturize the air?
The nasal cavity moisturizes the air through its mucous membranes, which secrete mucus that adds moisture to the inhaled air. The rich blood supply in the nasal tissues also helps warm the air, enhancing the humidification process. Additionally, the intricate structure of the nasal passages increases surface area, allowing for better contact between the air and the moist surfaces. This combination of mucus secretion and increased surface area ensures that the air reaches the lungs adequately humidified.

Why do mints make you sneeze?
Mints, particularly those containing menthol, can irritate the sensitive lining of the nasal passages. When inhaled, menthol stimulates the trigeminal nerve, which can trigger a sneeze reflex as the body attempts to expel the irritant. Additionally, the cooling sensation from menthol can cause a temporary increase in nasal secretion, further contributing to the urge to sneeze.
