Right side of internal nose

Latus dextrum cavitatis nasi · Pravá strana dutiny nosní

Skeleton

Looks like

One half of the nasal cavity, from one nostril back to the throat, bounded by the septum and the side wall.

What it does

Each side carries air on its own; the lining swells and shrinks alternately on the two sides every few hours.

Keeping it well

One side blocked for weeks, especially with bleeding or reduced smell, needs an endoscopic look by an ENT doctor.
