    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Physiology
    • Respiratory System

    Background:

    • Nasal cavity anatomy is crucial for respiratory system's air conditioning.
    • Vascular mucosa and mucociliary activity are key defense mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the anatomical and physiological factors influencing nasal air conditioning.
    • To examine the impact of environmental factors and nasal drug application on nasal function.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical and physiological principles of nasal function.
    • Analysis of factors affecting air conditioning and mucociliary clearance.

    Main Results:

    • Nasal cavity shape and openings influence turbulent airflow.
    • Vascular system regulates temperature; secretions and condensation manage humidity.
    • Mucociliary activity is vital for defense, affected by internal/external factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Nasal anatomy and physiology are critical for effective air conditioning and defense.
    • Environmental factors and nasal drug use can impact these functions.
