Honeymoon rhinitis (or honeymoon nose) is a condition in which the sufferer experiences nasal congestion during sexual intercourse or arousal. [1] The condition appears to be genetically determined and caused by the presence in the nose of erectile tissue which may become engorged during sexual arousal, as a side effect of the signals from the ...
The power series nose shape is generated by rotating the y = R(x/L)n curve about the x -axis for values of n less than 1. The factor n controls the bluntness of the shape. For values of n above about 0.7, the tip is fairly sharp. As n decreases towards zero, the power series nose shape becomes increasingly blunt.
The nasolabial folds, commonly known as " smile lines " [1] or " laugh lines ", [2] [self-published source] are facial features. They are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are defined by facial structures that support the buccal fat pad. [3] They separate the cheeks from the upper lip.
A nose is a protuberance in vertebrates that houses the nostrils, or nares, which receive and expel air for respiration alongside the mouth. Behind the nose are the olfactory mucosa and the sinuses. Behind the nasal cavity, air next passes through the pharynx, shared with the digestive system, and then into the rest of the respiratory system.
Nasal sebum. Nasal sebum, also known as nose grease / oil, is grease removed from the surface of the human nose. The pores of the lateral creases (where the nose joins the face) of the exterior of the nose create and store more oil and grease than pores elsewhere on the human body, forming a readily available source of small quantities of ...
The domestic cat has a smaller skull and shorter bones than the European wildcat. [47] It averages about 46 cm (18 in) in head-to-body length and 23–25 cm (9.1–9.8 in) in height, with about 30 cm (12 in) long tails. Males are larger than females. [48] Adult domestic cats typically weigh 4–5 kg (8.8–11.0 lb).
Hypertelorism is an abnormally increased distance between two organs or bodily parts, usually referring to an increased distance between the orbits (eyes), or orbital hypertelorism. In this condition the distance between the inner eye corners as well as the distance between the pupils is greater than normal. Hypertelorism should not be confused ...
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of the human thorax during breathing X-ray video of a female American alligator while breathing.. Breathing (spiration or ventilation) is the rhythmical process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to flush out carbon dioxide and bring in oxygen.
