AB The  nose  is  the  major  portal  of  air  exchange  between  the  internal  and  external  environment.  Nasal  functions  include  warming,  lubricating,  humidifying,  filtering,  stimulating,  and  regulating  airflow.  The  roof  of  the  nose  also  contains  olfactory  epithelium.  In  humans,  the  sense  of  smell  contributes  to  the  perception  of  taste,  warns  of  impending  hazards,  and  affects  social  interactions.
