00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaking of nose, do you know how it works?

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
If not, don't worry my friends.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Let's be nosy and find out some interesting facts about an impressive part of our body we call the nose.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Zoom in!

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Well friends, as we all know that your nose lets you smell, breathe and is the main gate for the respiratory system.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,899
And it all starts with the nostrils, which is the entrance point of your nose.

7
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:40,060
Separated by a wiggly wall in the middle called the septum.

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,799
Made of a very thin piece of skin and bone known as the cartilage.

9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:55,000
Right behind your nose is a space called the nasal cavity that connects with the back of the throat.

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:06,000
The snot works with your hair to trap unwanted small particles like dust and germs that could be harmful to your lungs.

11
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
When this captured dirt dries up along with mucus, you get boogers.

12
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So, we need to appreciate these boogers as they are formed in the process of protecting your lungs.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
But sometimes your nose traps something you wanted to get rid of.

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And you know what happens next?

15
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
You sneeze!

16
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Well, the reason you can smell different things around you is because of the olfactory epithelium.

17
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
The olfactory epithelium contains special receptors that notice the smell..

18
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,379
and sends the signals along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb.

19
00:01:53,859 --> 00:01:58,400
And finally, those signals go to the other parts of the brain

20
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,900
to be interpreted as a smell you may recognize.

21
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,939
Like food, fruits, flowers or smelly socks.

22
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,560
Truly amazing, isn't it?
