The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum, which consists mostly of cartilage and which separates the nostrils. On average the nose of a male is larger than that of a female.
The nose has an area of specialised cells which are responsible for smelling (part of the olfactory system). Another function of the nose is the conditioning of inhaled air, warming it and making it more humid. Hairs inside the nose prevent large particles from entering the lungs. Sneezing is usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa, but can more rarely be caused by sudden exposure to bright light (called the photic sneeze reflex) or touching the external auditory canal. Sneezing is a means of transmitting infections because it creates aerosols in which the droplets can harbour microbes.
The nasal root is the top of the nose, forming an indentation at the suture where the nasal bones meet the frontal bone. The anterior nasal spine is the thin projection of bone at the midline on the lower nasal margin, holding the cartilaginous center of the nose. Adult humans have nasal hairs in the anterior nasal passage.
Hey you! Wake up now
Tell me! Tell me your story
Oh yes! Now you! Fall down
Never walk back again
You're falling down
Oh yes! You! Fall down
Hey you say something now
Oh yes say your story
Watching you - Stillness in
Watching you - Stillness in
Looking at the last time
Hey you! The noise in my ear
I hear the children crying
Hey! Do you say something now
Oh no!! That's "Human Noise"
-Repeat-
Human oh - Noise! Human oh - Noise!
Gonna walk in the sun
