Allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis, of which the seasonal type is called hay fever, is a type of inflammation in the nose that occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air.

See Nose-blowing and Allergic rhinitis

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Nose-blowing and Bacteria

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

See Nose-blowing and Blood vessel

Common cold

The common cold or the cold is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the respiratory mucosa of the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx.

See Nose-blowing and Common cold

Cough

A cough is a sudden expulsion of air through the large breathing passages which can help clear them of fluids, irritants, foreign particles and microbes.

See Nose-blowing and Cough

Crying

Crying is the dropping of tears (or welling of tears in the eyes) in response to an emotional state or pain.

See Nose-blowing and Crying

CT scan

A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.

See Nose-blowing and CT scan

Etiquette

Etiquette is the set of norms of personal behaviour in polite society, usually occurring in the form of an ethical code of the expected and accepted social behaviours that accord with the conventions and norms observed and practised by a society, a social class, or a social group.

See Nose-blowing and Etiquette

Exhalation

Exhalation (or expiration) is the flow of the breath out of an organism.

See Nose-blowing and Exhalation

Facial tissue

Facial tissue and paper handkerchief refers to a class of soft, absorbent, disposable papers that are suitable for use on the face.

See Nose-blowing and Facial tissue

Food

Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support.

See Nose-blowing and Food

Fracture

Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.

See Nose-blowing and Fracture

Handkerchief

A handkerchief (also called a hankie or, historically, a handkercher or a) is a form of a kerchief or bandanna, typically a hemmed square of thin fabric which can be carried in the pocket or handbag for personal hygiene purposes such as wiping one's hands or face, or blowing one's nose.

See Nose-blowing and Handkerchief

Health effect

Health effects (or health impacts) are changes in health resulting from exposure to a source.

See Nose-blowing and Health effect

Human nose

The human nose is the first organ of the respiratory system. Nose-blowing and human nose are Rhinology.

See Nose-blowing and Human nose

Inhalation

Inhalation (or inspiration) happens when air or other gases enter the lungs.

See Nose-blowing and Inhalation

Mouth

The mouth is the body orifice through which many animals ingest food and vocalize.

See Nose-blowing and Mouth

Mucus

Mucus is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes.

See Nose-blowing and Mucus

Nasal congestion

Nasal congestion is the partial or complete blockage of nasal passages, leading to impaired nasal breathing, usually due to membranes lining the nose becoming swollen from inflammation of blood vessels.

See Nose-blowing and Nasal congestion

Nasal mucosa

The nasal mucosa lines the nasal cavity.

See Nose-blowing and Nasal mucosa

Nose picking

Nose picking is the act of extracting Mucus and nasal mucus with one's finger (rhinotillexis) and may include the subsequent ingestion of the extracted mucus (mucophagy). Nose-blowing and Nose picking are Rhinology.

See Nose-blowing and Nose picking

Nosebleed

A nosebleed, also known as epistaxis, is an instance of bleeding from the nose.

See Nose-blowing and Nosebleed

Nostril

A nostril (or naris,: nares) is either of the two orifices of the nose.

See Nose-blowing and Nostril

Orbit (anatomy)

In anatomy, the orbit is the cavity or socket/hole of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated.

See Nose-blowing and Orbit (anatomy)

Paranasal sinuses

Paranasal sinuses are a group of four paired air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity. Nose-blowing and Paranasal sinuses are Rhinology.

See Nose-blowing and Paranasal sinuses

Pound per square inch

The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in2), is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units.

See Nose-blowing and Pound per square inch

Public toilet

A public toilet, restroom, public bathroom or washroom is a room or small building with toilets (or urinals) and sinks for use by the general public.

See Nose-blowing and Public toilet

Radiocontrast agent

Radiocontrast agents are substances used to enhance the visibility of internal structures in X-ray-based imaging techniques such as computed tomography (contrast CT), projectional radiography, and fluoroscopy.

See Nose-blowing and Radiocontrast agent

Rhinorrhea

Rhinorrhea, rhinorrhoea, or informally runny nose is the free discharge of a thin mucus fluid from the nose; it is a common condition.

See Nose-blowing and Rhinorrhea

Signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms are the observed or detectable signs, and experienced symptoms of an illness, injury, or condition.

See Nose-blowing and Signs and symptoms

Sinusitis

Sinusitis, also known as rhinosinusitis, is an inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the sinuses resulting in symptoms that may include thick nasal mucus, a plugged nose, and facial pain. Nose-blowing and Sinusitis are Rhinology.

See Nose-blowing and Sinusitis

Sneeze

A sneeze (also known as sternutation) is a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa.

See Nose-blowing and Sneeze

Sniffle

A sniffle is the instinctive action of inhaling quickly in order to prevent mucus from flowing from one's nasal cavity, as an alternative to blowing the nose.

See Nose-blowing and Sniffle

X-ray

X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.

See Nose-blowing and X-ray
