THE NOSE Your nose sits in the middle of your face. You can not look at your nose without a mirror. If you try you go cross-eyed. Your nose helps you to breathe. Your nose helps you to feel nice smells like flowers or soap. It also helps you to detect dangerous chemicals in the air. The human nose has two openings. They are called nostrils. The nostrils are divided by the nasal septum. The inside of the nose is covered in a thin moist layer of tissue called mucous membrane. We all have small nose hair too. They clean the air you breathe in. Dust and other particles are cleaned by the nose hair and you sneeze to get rid of them. A sneeze can travel up to 160 km/hour. That is a very fast going car`s speed. To stop our germs and viruses to fly around we need to cover our mouth when sneezing. Draw a picture about how you sneeze in a proper way. Humans have about 5 million smell cells to feel different scents. Dogs have about 250 million. They can smell far better than us.They can feel smells we did not even notice. They can smell even emotions like sadness or fear. Do you have a dog? Did you know for dogs we stink, but they love it.
