Abstract
Functional anatomy of the nasal airway and accessory air spaces [human] is discussed with regard to airflow resistance, mucociliary function, nasal clearance and adenoids. A section of this review article is devoted to environment effects: weather, climate, air temperature and humidity. Also discussed in great detail are factors influencing nasal malfunction and speculations on small airway disease.This publication has 44 references indexed in Scilit:
