Nasal glands

The nasal glands are the seromucous glands in the respiratory region of the nasal mucous membrane. The three major types of nasal glands are anterior serous glands, seromucous glands, and Bowman glands. They help moisturize the nasal mucosa and help the olfactory region with smelling.
