Mechanics Of A
Breath
When you breathe in, the breath is forced to
pass through the narrowest portion of the nose, the nasal valve,
which increases air speed and pressure. Just after passing the
valves, the air expands into the nasal cavity, creating
turbulence.
This turbulence promotes contact between the air
and the moist mucosa tissue. Through this process, the breath is cleansed of
particles, humidified, and heated or cooled to near body
temperatures.
