NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1:  Your nose is packed with advanced aerodynamics, more than jet wings have!

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1: The 3 turbinate bones in your nose help with guiding the air flow in your nose.

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1: 10% of the air is routed to the top inside of the nose where there are 25,000 smell receptors.

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1:  Your lower two turbinates, the middle and inferior turbinates, act like a refrigerator.

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1: The heating and moistening of the air you breathe because of what the turbinates do is critical for your lungs to absorb enough oxygen.

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1: There are nerves which detect everything happening with your nose air currents. Information from them goes to your spinal cord and it enlarges or shrinks the turbinates according to your needs!

NOSE AERODYNAMICS 1:  Without your turbinates, you’d be continually exhausted because your lungs wouldn’t absorb enough oxygen.

TURBINATES & SMELLING: Have you ever seen a dog suddenly start sniffing?
Sniffing to smell is a DNA brain-wired instinct. Animals and people sniff to draw the air in faster than usual.

TURBINATES & SMELLING: Dogs have well-developed turbinates which make long, hard treks much easier. They also help sled dogs survive hard journeys in Arctic conditions.

TURBINATES & SMELLING: House cats’ turbinates are bigger than a dog’s. This is why cats like shorter trips.

GIANT SALAMANDER: The rattlesnake strikes faster than the blink of an eye.

GIANT SALAMANDER: The Chinese giant salamander is a huge amphibian. This gentle giant weighs in more than the weight of 5 kids–over 500 pounds.

GIANT SALAMANDER: This big fellow slowly creeps up on his unsuspecting prey. He opens his mouth with incredible speed and drops the cartilage floor in it. Before the fish can blink an eye, it’s sucked into the smiling amphibian’s big mouth..

GIANT SALAMANDER: This giant salamander can accelerate prey to 5 g’s to get it into its mouth.

GIANT SALAMANDER: When jets fly through their most rigorous maneuvers, they can accelerate at 50 g’s.
