Important function of Nose in Human Body

• Moisture Air: Nose is doing an excellent job while breathing the environmental air. Yes, the nose is not allowing the environmental air directly into the lungs and throat. Inhaling air is moisture by nose with the help of a multiple-layer air pathway including three sets of turbinates (called upper, middle and lower conchae). If a person has a dry throat, that means inhaling air is not moisture. 
• Cleaning the inhaling Air: Inhaling air contains all kinds of stuff such as oxygen and nitrogen to dust, pollution, allergens, smoke, bacteria, viruses, small bugs and some other things. Nose helps to clean the inhaling air with the help of tiny hairs. This tiny hair is not allowing bad debris present in the air. This action is helpful for good lung function. 
• Smell detector: Nose helps to find out the smell with the help of large numbers of olfactory nerve cells. This nose helps to identify both bad and good smells. Both smell and taste are important to live a healthy life. Because both these things help to take the right food item in daily life. During cold or allergic conditions, people have less ability to smell because receptors are not able to receive the air. Human beings have the ability to smell more than 10,000 scents. Smell is an important thing for the human being, because it helps for identification, remembering old and new memories and combining with emotion. 
• Sneezing: In this world, everyone has various sneezing styles that are identified genetically. So, whether a person sneezes is a single loud “aaah-choo” or an almost silent sniffle, he inherited the sneeze style from his parents.
• When a person sneezes, the irritant, along with about 40,000 droplets of moisture, get ejaculated from the nose at a speed of 100 miles per hour. If he forgot to cover his mouth, all that stuff would land successfully at least 5 feet in front of him. So, covering the mouth during the time of sneezing is a good idea. 
• Mucus: Mucus is playing a vital role to protect the body from various attacks of virus and bacteria. Every day more than 1 liter of mucus is produced by sinuses placed above the nose. Mucus is loaded with enough amount of white blood cells and enzymes responsible for fighting against various infections.
