Nasal Passage General

The common nasal passage (m. n. communis) is an anatomical structure that connects the nasal cavity with the paranasal sinus. This passage is one of two main canals that connect the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

The common nasal passage begins at the front of the nasal septum and passes through the nasal septum. It then continues to the paranasal sinus, which is located in the upper part of the face. The overall nasal passage is about 5-8 mm wide and about 3-5 cm long.

The main function of the common nasal cavity is to drain mucus secreted in the nose and remove it from the nose. In addition, it is also involved in the processes of smell and breathing.

However, some people may have a nasal abnormality called a common meatus. This can make it difficult for mucus to drain from the nose, which can cause various problems such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and even infections.

Surgery, such as septum correction or paranasal sinus removal, may be required to treat abnormalities of the common nasal passage. In some cases, a conservative approach such as using nasal sprays or drops to drain mucus may also be used.

Overall, the general nasal passage plays an important role in the functioning of the nose and sinuses. However, if you have problems with this channel, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
