    Parts of A Nose - Science 3

    The nose functions to allow smelling odors and help with breathing. It has visible parts like the bridge and tip, and openings called nostrils separated by the septum or columella. Behind the nose is the nasal cavity, connected to the throat, where air passes through and tiny hairs called cilia and mucus work to filter dust and bacteria from the inhaled air before it reaches the lungs.

    the nostrils, made of a soft and
    flexible bone called CARTILAGE
    NASAL CAVITY: located behind the

    cavity from the inner part of
    the mouth.
    CILIA (plural) CILIUM (singular):
    tiny hairs along the inner walls
    of the nasal cavity
    MUCUS: sticky substance
     CILIA and MUCUS remove dust and
    bacteria from the air.

    nostrils, the nose makes the
    air warm and moist.
