Review of anatomy and physiology

The nose and mouth allow air to flow in and out of the body. They also humidify inhaled air, which reduces irritation of the mucous membranes.

moisturizing
2. Organ of smell; the nares (nostrils) contain olfactory receptor
sites and provide the body’s sense of smell.

It also provides openings for the respiratory and digestive systems. Structurally and developmentally, the head is divided into two parts: cranium and face.
