The root of the nose is the frontal bone, bridge is part of the nasal bone, the dorsum nasal is cartilaginous and leads to the apex. and. Vibrissae are hairs found at the entrance of the nose which trap large particles. Olfactory mucosa contains the receptors of the olfactory nerve, no part in respiration. Increases surface area more warmth, humidity and filtration. Paired air spaces within bones of the skul functioning to: Help warm the air (have respiratory mucosa between so can be infected) Made of skeletal muscle, line with mucous membrane.
