Ninakäikudes

Ninakäikudes refers to the nasal passages, the hollow spaces within the nose. These passages are lined with mucous membranes that produce mucus, which helps to trap dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. The mucus is then moved towards the throat by tiny, hair-like structures called cilia, where it can be swallowed or expelled. The nasal passages also play a crucial role in warming and humidifying inhaled air before it reaches the lungs. This process helps to protect the delicate lung tissue from cold, dry air. Furthermore, the nasal passages are home to olfactory receptors, which are responsible for our sense of smell. These receptors detect airborne molecules and send signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive different odors. The complex network of nasal passages contributes significantly to respiratory health and our sensory experience of the world. Conditions affecting the ninakäikudes can lead to symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and loss of smell.
