Nasal cavity

Description
Air entering the nasal cavity swirls around the turbinates, allowing the mucosa to warm and moisten it before it goes to the lungs. This helps the body maintain its core temperature and keeps the tissues of the lungs from becoming dehydrated. The mucosa also produces mucus to trap inhaled -particles and bacteria before they enter the lungs.
