Do you have tonsils by your nose cavity?
No, tonsils are located in the back of the throat, not in the nose cavity. The nose cavity contains structures such as the nasal passages, sinuses, and turbinates.
Where is the nasal conchea?
The nasal conchae are located inside the nasal cavity on both sides of the nose. They are bony structures covered in mucous membrane that help to increase the surface area in the nasal cavity, which helps to humidify and filter the air we breathe.
What are Shelf like structures found in the nasal cavity?
Shelf-like structures found in the nasal cavity are known as nasal turbinates or conchae. These bony structures are covered with mucous membranes and serve to humidify, warm, and filter the air as it passes through the nasal passages. Turbinates also help to increase the surface area within the nasal cavity, enhancing olfactory functions and aiding in respiratory efficiency. There are typically three pairs of turbinates: superior, middle, and inferior.
What structures warm moisten filter air?
Nasal cavity mucosa... as air passes thru the nasal cavity, it's warmed, moistened, and filtered by the nasal cavity mucosa. The air that flows directly beneath the superior part of the nasal cavity may stimulate the olfactory receptors in the mucosa region.
Para nasal sinuses drain into which cavity?
Paranasal sinuses drain into the nasal cavity.
