nasal cavity - (pronounced) (NAY-zul KA-vuh-tee) The space in the nose. The nasal cavity overlies the bone that forms the roof of the mouth and curves down at the back to join the pharynx. It is divided into two sections called the nasal passages. Air flows through these passages during breathing. The nasal passages filter and warm the air, making it humid before it reaches the lungs. They also contain special cells involved in the sense of smell
