Features of the blood supply of the nasal cavity in adolescence

Abstract

The blood supply to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity in adolescence has a number of features caused by physiological changes that occur in the body in this period of human development. The structure of the nasal cavity may differ in boys and girls, which is reflected in the differences and features of its blood supply, since the vessels may have different size and distribution. In adolescence, there is an active growth and development of the vascular network, which provides better nutrition of the mucous membrane and increases its functionality. The hormonal background of adolescents affects the tone of blood vessels, in particular estrogens in girls and testosterone in boys change the lumen of blood vessels and their reaction to external stimuli.
