Nothing could be plainer than the nose on your face (and the mouth below it), but the mouth and nose have big, important jobs to do. Their work is not as simple as a quick sniff or nibble of pizza makes it seem. Learn how the jaw, mouth, and throat all work together, how the process of eating works, and what happens in the nose when we take a whiff of that apple pie in the oven. This book highlights, in both the text and in the stunning images, the complexities of such seemingly simple sensory organs.
