Nasal Passages

Molecular classification: Anatomical Structure

Overview

The nasal passages are a key anatomical structure within the human nose. They serve as both an entry point to the respiratory system and a site for olfaction (sense of smell). The nasal passages are responsible for conditioning inspired air by warming, humidifying, and filtering it before it reaches the lower airways. Additionally, they play roles in speech resonance and taste perception.
