As well as being vital for transport of gases to the [[Cardiorespiratory System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology#Lower Respiratory Tract|lower respiratory tract]], the nasal cavity is also the site for one of the special senses - [[Nose - Anatomy & Physiology|''Olfaction'']].

The nose consists of the external nares with nasal [[Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Structure and Function of Cartilage|cartilages]], the nasal cavity (including the nasal meatus and conchae), and the [[Paranasal Sinuses - Anatomy & Physiology|paranasal sinuses]].
