چکیده
Our nose, paranasal sinuses, as well as the throat (pharynx) are part of the upper respiratory tract, which consists of two parts. Anatomically, the external and internal parts of the nose can be illustrated. The first consists of nasal bones and nasal cartilages and the internal nose is formed by the nasal cavity and the nasal concha also known as turbinates (choanae), are separated by the nasal septum (septum nasi) with their openings and the paranasal sinuses.

The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in olfactory threshold in patients with head and neck malignancies who have received radiation to th...
متن کاملThe Grueneberg ganglion: a novel sensory system in the nose.
Within the nasal epithelium of mammals, there are several compartments which are populated with neuronal cells. One of them - the so-called Grueneberg ganglion - is composed of ciliated neurons residing in the anterior region of the nose. Although cells of the Grueneberg ganglion lack direct contact with the lumen of the nasal cavity, they are endowed with features indicative of olfactory senso...

متن کاملGross and Cellular Anatomy of the Human Nose as an Organ for Smelling
Sense of smell, often called olfaction, is a significant way for vertebrate animals that have ‘the nose’ to recognize the chemical signals from their environment. Generally, olfaction of the nose is the most important sense for the majority of vertebrate animals to maintain their survival with the exception of several mammals, including humans. Human’s ability to smell is significantly weaker t...
