Nasal hair Nasal hair Nasal hair or nose hair is the hair in the nose. Adult humans have hair in the interior nasal passage. Nasal hair functions include filtering foreign particles from entering the nasal cavity and collecting moisture. In support of the first function, the results of a 2010 study indicated that increased nasal hair density decreases development of asthma in those who have seasonal rhinitis, possibly due to an increased capacity of the faces to filter out pollen and other allergens. Nasal hair should not be confused with cilia of the nasal cavity, which are the microscopic cellular strands that,
Equine nasal cysts benign, the prognosis for a complete recovery is extremely good, and the rate of any recurrence is minimal. Some horses may have a mild mucous discharge after surgery, which can be permanent, but this does not generally seem to cause problems. However, if the cyst does transpire to be malignant, the prognosis becomes worse, with roughly 70% survival, as opposed to a norm of more than 95% with benign cysts. Ethmoid hematoma Equine nasal cysts Equine nasal cysts are epithelium lined, single or loculated cavities filled with fluid or pus. They normally form in the ventral concha, maxillary sinuses, and
