Think You Know Your Nose?  |
|
 Did you know you have 4 nostrils? Two you can see, and two further back called choannae, which is greek for funnels.
I did not know this.
Did you know that we use each of our viewable nostrils to detect different smells? We breath different amounts of air into each one and create a kind of 'nasal stereo'.
I knew we needed both eyes for proper depth perceotion but i had no idea our nostrils operated in such a fashion.
Did you? Have anymore tidbits about noses?

1.  dfn12968 (5553) | 6 months ago |  Curly, as soon as I saw the title to this discussion, I knew you posted it. Don't ask me why...I just knew. LOL
*compulsive nose picking is called rhinotillexomania
*The mucous membranes in the nose and sinuses produce between a pint and a quart of mucus a day. Nearly all of it is flushed out of the sinuses and into the stomach, where it is dissolved by acids.
(that does wonders for my gag reflex)
*One-third of American adults pick their nose at least once an hour.

| CurlyRed (2159) | 6 months ago | heeheee! really? you knew it was me?:P
between a pint and a quart? sheesh! How does anyone ever get hungry? And how much does one produce with a cold?
One third once an hour? I suppose another third does it every half an hour. | |
|
|
| dfn12968 (5553) | 6 months ago | Yup, for some reason I could tell by the way it was phrased that it was you.:)
yup...one third. LOL I imagine the third third just walk around with their fingers permanently inserted to save time. | |

3.  Rozie37 (6084) | 6 months ago |  I kind of knew this. I know that further back in my nose the hole narrows into a smaller opening. I am not sure exactly where it leads to from there though and I did not know that the two holes in the back were also called nostrils.

| CurlyRed (2159) | 6 months ago | I didn't know either. It makes me wonder how much good those strips that hold your passages open can really do. | |

| 4. drannhh (4281) | 6 months ago |  Now if you hadn't told me which book you are currently reading, I would have known anyway. Careful though because when you get to the bit on George Washington, that is going to rile some people up. Some facts people just don't want to know. I have a nose for ferreting out facts.

|
|
| CurlyRed (2159) | 6 months ago | Heeheeheehee! I did read the part about George Washington, and I think I may have heard it before. | |

| 7. xboxboy (1202) | 5 months ago |  did you know that you only use one nostril at a time? try it! breath on the back of your hand and you will feel the air coming out of one nostril. try it again 5 mins later and it will come from the other nostril!
