01
Overview
The **nasal cavity** is an anatomical space located within the nose, functioning as the uppermost part of the respiratory system. It is divided by the nasal septum into two symmetrical compartments and is lined by mucous membrane. The nasal cavity conditions, filters, and humidifies inhaled air, houses the olfactory epithelium for the sense of smell, and acts as a first-line defense against airborne pathogens and particulates. It also plays a role in vocal resonance and influences taste. The nasal cavity is not a drug target or receptor but serves as an important anatomical site in drug delivery (e.g., intranasal administration) and is involved in various pathological conditions including infections, inflammation, and neoplasms[1][3][4][7][9][10].
