New data on modern human nasal airway morphology and variation

Nasal cavity is an anatomical region of the craniofacial skeleton that is the gate of the respiratory system. This cavity shows strong morphological variation, but the link between its shape and its function is not fully understood. Previous studies focusing on environmental factors (e.g. air tempe...

Izvleček:Nasal cavity is an anatomical region of the craniofacial skeleton that is the gate of the respiratory system. This cavity shows strong morphological variation, but the link between its shape and its function is not fully understood. Previous studies focusing on environmental factors (e.g. air temperature, humidity, altitude) demonstrated an influence of these factors on nasal morphology. However, it is difficult to disentangle this environmental influence from genetic, physiological and biom...
