nasal mucosa

The nasal mucosa is the moist tissue lining the inside of your nose. It produces mucus, which traps dust, germs, and other particles, helping keep your respiratory system clean and protected. This lining also contains tiny blood vessels that warm and humidify the air you breathe in. Additionally, it contains sensory cells responsible for your sense of smell. The nasal mucosa plays a vital role in filtering air and supporting respiratory health, and it can become inflamed or swollen if you have allergies, infections, or other nasal issues.
