The human nose undertakes the responsibility to warm         13
           and moisturize the air we inhale. The mucus layer cov-
           ering the interior surface of the nose releases water
           vapor to moisture the air that enters. The large numbers
           of capillaries immediately beneath the mucus layer also
           warm the passing air, adapting it to the sensitive struc-
           ture of the lungs. This mechanism resembles the air con-
           ditioning system that regulates the levels of temperature
           and humidity in buildings. The processes summarized
           in outline here are in fact exceedingly complex.
