The nose is the gateway to the respirator and its function is to heat, filter and humidify the air passing through it to the throat and lungs, but to allow this to happen, the membranes must be in good condition.
Nasal mucosa is moist tissue that produces thick, sticky liquid called mucus. This mucus helps to maintain the mucosa from the different environmental aggressions.
According to the otolaryngologist, humans produce one to one and a half liter of mucus a day. Nasal mucosa is the glands were found in the nose and throat that produce mucus to lubricates and cleans the membranes of the nose.
Mucus contains high concentrations of antibodies and immunoglobulins that protect the body from the germs, thanks to its slimy texture that is capable of immobilize to prevent large particles entering the respiratory tree.
