Controlling flow of a fluid-power system does not necessarily mean regulating volume per unit of time from a valve. Flow rate can be specified three different ways, so it is important to be aware of how flow is to be specified or measured: Volumetric flow rate, Qv, expressed in units of in.
The nasal cavity is the are inside the nose, separated from the oral cavity (the area inside the mouth) by the nasal spine. The purpose of the nasal cavity is to deliver cleaned, moistened, and warmed air to the pharynx (throat). The cavity is lined with mucous that has tiny hairs on it.
The pharynx consists of three main divisions. The anterior portion is the nasal pharynx, the back section of the nasal cavity. The nasal pharynx connects to the second region, the oral pharynx, by means of a passage called an isthmus. The oral pharynx begins at the back of the mouth cavity and continues down the throat to the epiglottis, a flap of tissue that covers the air passage to the lungs and that channels food to the esophagus.
