ABSTRACT

Upper respiratory tract, different conditions of air temperature and humidity during the re-shaping the inspiratory and expiratory. showing the changes made by high-altitude mountain climbers of the nasal mucosa, the subjective feeling of nasal obstruction and mucociliary clearance should increase caused by the limited number of publications are available in the literature. Publications in the literature investigating the effects of high altitude on nasal resistance is extremely limited. Investigating the influence of nasal resistance and even transmitted yoktur.Mevcut publications altitude altitude physiology, and other systems, the effect of the lower respiratory system incelemektedir. Purpose of thıs review is to review the changes at high altitude physiology of the nose.
Keywords: nose, nasal physiology, high altitude
