explanation the nose is the primary organ for inhalation and expelling waste from the brain by sneezing and other things. although the mouth helps in inhalation it is like an entrance to the work and most animals breathe with their mouths closed. a veterinarian opened a horses mouth with a tool that blocked its nostrils so it died immediately. the elephants nose is used to take whatever it takes or to pass on to its keeper and with it water is transferred to its mouth by filling its nostrils and then blowing it into its throat.
الشرح الأنف هو الآلة الأولى للاستنشاق ولدفع فضول الدماغ بالعطاس وغيره. والفم وإن أعان في الاستنشاق فهو كدخلة في العمل، وأكثر الحيوانات تتنفس مضمومة الأفواه. وقد فتح بيطار فم فرس بآلة سدت منخريه فمات في الوقت. وأنف الفيل له في تناول ما يتناوله أو يناوله سائسة، وبه ينقل الماء إلى فمه بأن يملأ منه منخريه ثم ينفخه في حلقه.
