Components

(generated)

• Component items*:
• *Nose sensory data* (*nose-sensory-data*)

* Nose - volatile (nose-volatile -> LPC.PN.SG.MOE): Sensing smells - volatile odorants
* Nose - nonvolatile (nose-nonvolatile -> LPC.PN.SG.VNO): Sensing smells - non-volatile pheromones
* Nose - proprioceptors (nose-proprioceptors -> LPC.MM.MSTR): proprioception
* Nose - touch receptors (nose-somatic -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): touch
* Nose - visceral nodose receptors (nose-visceral-vagus -> LPC.PN.SG.NOD): visceral sensations
* Nose - visceral pharynx receptors (nose-visceral-pharynx -> LPC.PN.SG.PET): visceral sensations

• *Ear sensory control* (*nose-sensory-control*)

* [- nasal glands] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> HumanMusclesHead nose-nasal-glands): smelling control and moisturing

• *Nose move muscles* (*nose-muscles*): constricts nostrils, lower alar pars and helps to wrinkle nose

* [- depressor septi nasi muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesHead nose-depressor-septi-nasi): depression of nasal septum
* [- levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesHead nose-levator-labii-superioris-alaeque-nasi): dilates the nostril; elevates the upper lip and wing of the nose
* [- nasalis muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesHead nose-nasalis): compresses bridge, depresses tip of nose, elevates corners of nostrils
* [- salpingopharyngeus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesNeck nose-salpingopharyngeus): raise the nasopharynx
