nose

Etymology: AS, nosu

the structure that protrudes from the anterior part of the face and serves as a passageway for air to and from the lungs. The nose filters the air, warming, moistening, and chemically examining it for impurities that might irritate the mucous lining of the respiratory tract. The nose also contains receptor cells for smell, and it aids the faculty of speech. It consists of an internal and an external part. The external part, which protrudes from the face, is considerably smaller than the internal part, which lies over the roof of the mouth. The hollow interior part is separated into a right and a left cavity by a septum. Each cavity is divided into the superior, middle, and inferior meati by the projection of nasal conchae. The external part of the nose is perforated by two nostrils (anterior nares), and the internal part by two posterior nares. The pairs of sinuses that drain into the nose are the frontal, maxillary, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal sinuses. Ciliated mucous membrane lines the nose, closely adhering to the periosteum. The mucous membrane is continuous with the skin through the nares and with the mucous membrane of the nasal part of the pharynx through the choanae. The mucous membrane contains the olfactory cells that form the olfactory nerve that enters the cranium.

nose

the specialized structure of the head that serves both as the organ of smell and as the first segment of the respiratory apparatus. Air breathed in through the nose is warmed, humidified and filtered by the richly vascular mucous membrane. On breathing out through the nose some of the heat gained is returned to the nasal mucous membrane. See also nasal.

a scissor-like instrument with the blades curved towards each other and fitted with a knob on each of their ends. The tool is inserted into the nostrils with the blades opened, positioned on either side of the septum, then closed tight. The end of the nasal septum is grasped between the ends of the tongs. Provides fair restraint for a cow having a minor interference, such as an intravenous injection. Comparable in effect to a twitch on a horse.

nose mite

Speleognathus australis; occurs in wild ruminants and may cause bouts of sneezing. See also nasal acariasis.

parasympathetic nose

unilateral or bilateral dryness, hyperkeratosis and sometimes loss of pigmentation of the nasal planum in dogs. There may be fissuring and ulceration of the nares and nasal philtrum. These are the result of damage, either inflammatory or neurogenic, to the glands responsible for lubricating the nasal planum and nasal vestibule.

nose picking

a vice in quail kept in overcrowded conditions. The birds pick at the soft tissue where the beak and skin join. Causes blood loss and subsequent beak deformity.

pinched nose

see stenotic nares.

nose printing

epidermal contours in the skin of the nose of dogs and the muzzle of ruminants are reflections of dermal structures; they are individually distinctive and can be replicated by applying ink to the part with an inking pad and imprinting on paper; provide a means of identification similar to fingerprints in humans. See also transponder, nasal areae.

Patient discussion about don't see further than nose.

Q. I got runny nose every morning and in the evening. Never had this problem before. Worst still is gardening. Why why why?

A. I have Janet Craig, and Corn plan Draceanas, Spider Plants, Chinese Evergreen, Weeping Fig, Pothos,and Peace Lilly; plus others. The largest are the Draceanas and those named are supposed to be among the best at cleaning toxins from the air. They Rubber Plants are a good choice but I'm running out of room! Jade may want some company!

Q. sinus infection and Polups and I can't breath through my nose. What can I do?

A. You could also try to rub a little bit of vicks on your chest, throat, and a very small amount on you upper lip.

Q. Common cold but dreadful. I am suffering from a dreadful common cold. As I write: believe me, I long to have done with it. I am not enjoying it in the least. I fear however that I am already too old to see the day when the common cold becomes history. I tried the simple first aid tablets but no use. Could you use this session to help me out?

A. chicken soup :) the best cure!
you can try fresh ginger tea - it really make it easier..opens up the sinuses, drys up the mucous.
