*Component items*:
  * *Nose sensory data* (*nose-sensory-data*)
   * Nose - volatile (nose-volatile -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_MOE LPC.PN.SG.MOE]): Sensing smells - volatile odorants
   * Nose - nonvolatile (nose-nonvolatile -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_VNO LPC.PN.SG.VNO]): Sensing smells - non-volatile pheromones
   * Nose - proprioceptors (nose-proprioceptors -> [BrainRegionLPC_MM_MSTR LPC.MM.MSTR]): proprioception
   * Nose - touch receptors (nose-somatic -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_TRG LPC.PN.SG.TRG]): touch
   * Nose - visceral nodose receptors (nose-visceral-vagus -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_NOD LPC.PN.SG.NOD]): visceral sensations
   * Nose - visceral pharynx receptors (nose-visceral-pharynx -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_PET LPC.PN.SG.PET]): visceral sensations
  * *Ear sensory control* (*nose-sensory-control*)
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_glands Nose - 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
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressor_septi_nasi_muscle Nose - depressor septi nasi muscle] ([BrainRegionLPC_HT_FCM LPC.HT.FCM] -> [HumanMusclesHead nose-depressor-septi-nasi]): depression of nasal septum
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_labii_superioris_alaeque_nasi_muscle Nose - levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle] ([BrainRegionLPC_HT_FCM LPC.HT.FCM] -> [HumanMusclesHead nose-levator-labii-superioris-alaeque-nasi]): dilates the nostril; elevates the upper lip and wing of the nose
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasalis_muscle Nose - nasalis muscle] ([BrainRegionLPC_HT_FCM LPC.HT.FCM] -> [HumanMusclesHead nose-nasalis]): compresses bridge, depresses tip of nose, elevates corners of nostrils
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salpingopharyngeus_muscle Nose - salpingopharyngeus muscle] ([BrainRegionLPC_HL_AMB LPC.HL.AMB] -> [HumanMusclesNeck nose-salpingopharyngeus]): raise the nasopharynx
