What is the Function of the Nose?

The nose helps us smell things and breathe air. It is the part of our body that we use to sniff and enjoy different scents, like flowers or food. The nose also filters the air we breathe and warms it up before it goes into our lungs.

Example: When you smell cookies baking in the oven, your nose is doing the work! It helps you enjoy the yummy smell and tells your brain that something delicious is nearby.

Fun Fact: Your nose can remember many different smells, and it can help you recognize someone by their scent!
