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.
There are many different things which can cause a bloody nose or blood-streaked nasal mucous. In a child, a pediatrician is the best physician to make an initial assessment and determine whether other physicians such as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors should become involved. The skin lining the nasal passages is very thin and delicate which is what makes it prone to bleeding with even minor irritation. Irritating factors can include cold/dry weather; seasonal or environmental allergies; or an infection that causes typical upper respiratory 'cold' symptoms. Some other common causes of bleeding from the nose include trauma or a foreign body (in a child, most often related to nose-picking).
