3. NOSE STRUCTURE The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum, which consists mostly of cartilage and which separates the nostrils. On average the nose of a male is larger than that of a female .

4. NOSE FUNCTIONS – As a passageway for air movement. Warming and humidifying the air. Cleaning the air we breathe by catching particles and some irritants.

5. TONGUE STRUCTURE OF TONGUE Tongue is the soft part in your mouth that you move around and use it for taste, swallowing and speaking, etc.”  “ A fleshy, movable muscular organ in the floor of the mouth of most vertebrates that contains sensory end organs and small glands and functions in taking and swallowing food, and also as a speech organ in humans.” A small, fleshy and muscular organ attached to the floor of your mouth that helps in tasting, chewing, swallowing and speaking is called tongue.  

6. TONGUE FUNCTIONS OF TONGUE Tongue can distinguish the taste of the food, such as bitter, sour, sweet and salty. Tongue is responsible for speech. Short tongue or tongue tie patients will have difficulty in pronouncing words. The sound that is produced from the voice box needs the help of the tongue to make a word more audible and apprehensible. Tongue helps to keep the oral cavity clean. The food particles attached to the teeth are cleared by tongue. Tongue helps to identify the thermal nature of the food, whether it is hot or cold. Tongue is undoubtedly the most important organ of the body. Imagine a situation without a tongue and you will definitely be disturbed. You won’t be able to chew the food, you won’t be able to talk, or there won’t be any taste of food that we eat. Life will become miserable without tongue .

7. SKIN STRUCTURE OF SKIN The   skin  is one of the largest organs in the body in surface area and weight.  The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis or subcutaneous fatty tissue. The skin has three main functions: protection, regulation and sensation. Wounding affects all the functions of the skin.

8. SKIN FUNCTIONS OF SKIN The skin is an organ of protection. The primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier. The skin provides protection from: mechanical impacts and pressure, variations in temperature, micro-organisms, radiation and chemicals. The skin is an organ of regulation. The skin regulates several aspects of physiology, including: body temperature via sweat and hair, and changes in peripheral circulation and fluid balance via sweat. It also acts as a reservoir for the synthesis of Vitamin D. The skin is an organ of sensation. The skin contains an extensive network of nerve cells that detect and relay changes in the environment. There are separate receptors for heat, cold, touch, and pain. Damage to these nerve cells is known as neuropathy, which results in a loss of sensation in the affected areas. Patients with neuropathy may not feel pain when they suffer injury, increasing the risk of severe wounding or the worsening of an existing wound.
