"Rhinological" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Relating to the nose or the study of the nose and nasal passages.
Etymology: From Greek "rhinos" (nose) + "logos" (study).
Rhinoderma is a genus of of simple-minded, worm-like, burrowing frogs that are endemic to Chile. They are characterized by their worm-like bodies and the presence of finger-like projections on their snouts, which are lined with taste buds, and are used for detecting and capturing prey. Rhinoderma begin their lives as eggs that hatch out into aquatic young, gilled and blind. They undergo metamorphosis and develop lungs and lose their tails but retain some resemblance to salamanders, a trait which has led them to be classified together with the salamanders as urodelans, though they are in fact metamorphic frogs, related to the other frogs.
Rhinography is an outmoded medical technique for taking photographs or X-rays of the nasal passages of living humans.

Rhinolithiasis is a medical term that refers to the formation of a calculus or stone within the nasal cavity, typically made of phosphates, calcium, or other minerals. This condition occurs when mucus, bone, and cell debris accumulate and harden in the nasal passages, forming a stone-like mass. Rhinolithiasis can cause symptoms such as nasal obstruction, discharge, and difficulty breathing, and in some cases, it may also lead to facial pain and headaches. Treatment for rhinolithiasis often involves surgical removal of the nasal stone.
