Microcirculation in the nasal mucosa.
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1999 The nasal mucosa has important physiological roles, including the removal of foreign bodies and the warming and humidification of inspired air. The microcirculation in the nasal mucosa facilitates the above processes and plays a role in the periodic swelling and shrinking of the nasal mucosa.

Spider Angioma of the Nasal Mucosa [PDF]
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2020 Spider angioma is a benign vascular lesion reminiscent of a spider’s body characterized by peculiar dilatation of end vasculature. The lesion is characterized by a central spot and extensions which radiate outward like a spider’s body. Spider angiomas may appear as a solitary or multiple lesion that arises on the skin surface of the face, neck, chest,
