title: [Physiopathology of nasal respiration].
abstract: The static and dynamic aspects of nasal anatomy determine the characteristics of the air flow passing through the nose and the thermo-hygrometric and particulated conditioning of the inhaled air. Through rhinomanometry it is possible to measure nasal cavities resistance to the passage of inhaled and exhaled air. Ventilation obstacles in the nose are frequent and varied: they are examined with the consequences of nasal obstruction at local and zonal level.
