The formal classification of the land snail, Allogona profunda (Say), is as follows: Domain: Eukarya. Kingdom: Animal. Phylum: Mollusca. Class: Gastropoda. Order: Pulmonata.
The nose is a part of the body rich in blood vessels (vascular) and is located in a vulnerable position protruding on the face. As a result, trauma to the face can cause nasal injury and bleeding. The bleeding may be profuse, or simply a minor complication.
Trauma to the outside of the nose, such as a blow to the face, or trauma inside the nose, such as nose picking or repeated irritation from a cold, can cause a nosebleed. Less commonly, an underlying disease process, such as an inability of the blood to clot, may contribute to the bleeding.
