HUMANS

Nares are the medical name for the nostrils.

The nostrils of a human serve to give us a faster pathway to our air supply, and they also hold hairs sometimes called vibrissae that catch dirt and germs so that they don't get into our bodies.

The paired nostril openings (nares) connect to a frog's mouth, so that when on the surface the frog can breathe in air and "swallow" it to the respiratory system. Underwater, frogs take in oxygen through their skin, which is why they avoid stagnant, de-oxygenated water.

External nares are the external nostrils found on the nose of humans, birds, and other animals. The external nares have many purposes. They provide you with the ability to smell and gather the necessary scents to distinguish between flavors. They also help to protect the nasal cavities.

"Rooting" Pigs, dig in soft ground for food with their noses. Domesticated hogs often have rings placed in their noses to prevent this.
