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.

The anterior nasal glands help moisturize the nasal mucosa.

Seromucous glands

The seromucous glands are found primarily in the anterior nasal cavity, and they are also found within the nasal cavity.

The Bowman glands are serous glands that help the olfactory region with smelling.
