English: Anatomy of the human nasal cavity. Squamous mucosa (green) is located at the frontal parts of the nasal vestibules. The three turbinates (inferior, middle and superior) humidify and warm the inhaled air. The area covered predominantly with respiratory mucosa is labelled in blue. The olfactory mucosa (yellow) is located next to the cribriform plate at the skull base down to the superior turbinate. Nasally transmitted substances can cross the cribriform plate via different pathways to enter the brain. Nasopharynx-associated lymphatic tissue (NALT) is located in close proximity to the tonsils at the nasopharynx.
