What is "nasal cavity"?
The nasal cavity is a hollow space located within the nose, extending from the nostrils to the back of the throat. It serves as the primary pathway for air entering and exiting the respiratory system. The nasal cavity is lined with specialized mucous membranes that help filter, warm, and humidify the inhaled air, removing particles and providing moisture before it reaches the lungs. The nasal cavity also plays a role in the sense of smell, as it contains olfactory receptors that detect and transmit signals related to odors to the brain.
Examples
1. If the jaw doesn't open the nose, the nasal cavities don't open either.
2. Turns out, the difference has to do with the conditions inside your nasal cavities.
3. 95% of your nasal cavity is used just to filter that air before it hits your lungs.
4. If you do, your character will haphazardly jam the lockpick into their nasal cavity, puncturing their brain and ending it all immediately.
