The nasal cavity is primarily lined with respiratory epithelium, which is a type of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This tissue is rich in mucus-secreting goblet cells and cilia, helping to trap and expel particles and pathogens. Additionally, the nasal cavity contains olfactory epithelium in the upper region, responsible for the sense of smell, and is supported by connective tissue, blood vessels, and cartilage. The overall structure facilitates functions such as filtering, warming, and humidifying incoming air.
