Human Nose Model - Regular

A half-face section through the nose, showing the nasal cavity, the conchae and the passage to the throat beside the external shape of the nose.

How it works

1. Start at the nostril and follow the air into the nasal cavity
2. Point out the conchae that warm and moisten the air
3. Follow the passage back to the throat, where air heads to the lungs

What students learn

• The nose cleans, warms and moistens the air we breathe
• The nasal cavity connects to the throat
• The nose also holds the sense of smell

Try these experiments

1. Label the parts using the key card
2. Trace the path of air from the nose to the lungs
3. Discuss why breathing through the nose is better than through the mouth
