Studies of the effects of nasal respiration on the lower respiratory tract, and on metabolic processes generally, have largely been confined to those occurring during inspiration. Expiration through the nose has equally profound effects and has been studied in detail in some animals. Under certain circumstances both heat and water loss from the body can be altered by changes in the nasal mucosa. These changes appear to be under the control of the autonomic nervous system and are influenced by the need to balance heat loss with heat production. The clinical and ecogeographical significance of these findings are discussed.
关于鼻腔呼吸对下呼吸道以及一般代谢过程影响的研究，大多局限于吸气过程中发生的情况。通过鼻腔呼气也有同样深远的影响，并且在一些动物身上已进行了详细研究。在某些情况下，鼻腔黏膜的变化可改变身体的热量和水分流失。这些变化似乎受自主神经系统控制，并受热量散失与产热平衡需求的影响。本文讨论了这些发现的临床和生态地理学意义。
