The mucosa, or mucus membrane, that can be found in the nasal cavity is highly vascular, helping to warm and moisten incoming air and is important for smelling since it is connected to the first cranial nerve, also known as the olfactory nerve. The mucosa contains large spaces that swell under contact with allergic reactions or infections
The virtual activity allows the user to check the inner portion of the nose thereby assess the function, airway patency and sense of smell.
