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)
  • Nose - nasal glands (LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> nose-nasal-glands): smelling control and moisturing
• Nose move muscles (nose-muscles): constricts nostrils, lower alar pars and helps to wrinkle nose
  • Nose - depressor septi nasi muscle (LPC.HT.FCM -> nose-depressor-septi-nasi): depression of nasal septum
  • Nose - levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle (LPC.HT.FCM -> nose-levator-labii-superioris-alaeque-nasi): dilates the nostril; elevates the upper lip and wing of the nose
  • Nose - nasalis muscle (LPC.HT.FCM -> nose-nasalis): compresses bridge, depresses tip of nose, elevates corners of nostrils
  • Nose - salpingopharyngeus muscle (LPC.HL.AMB -> nose-salpingopharyngeus): raise the nasopharynx
