Naseninneren

The nasal cavity, also known as the naseninneren in German, is a hollow space within the skull that forms part of the respiratory system. It is located between the nose and the pharynx, and it is connected to the mouth through the nasal passages. The nasal cavity is lined with mucous membranes that produce mucus to trap dust and other particles, and it contains the nasal conchae, which help to warm and humidify the air we breathe.

The nasal cavity plays a crucial role in the sense of smell, as it contains olfactory receptors that detect and transmit signals to the brain. It also helps to filter and warm the air we breathe, making it easier for the lungs to absorb oxygen. The nasal cavity is also involved in speech production, as it helps to resonate and shape the sounds we make.

The nasal cavity can be affected by various conditions, such as nasal polyps, sinusitis, and allergies. These conditions can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and difficulty breathing. Treatment options for these conditions may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes.
