A Dog’s Wet Nose
Open to everyone until Tuesday, September 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A dog’s nose has openings and wet skin. Air carrying scent flows through it and reaches tiny smell sensors inside.
In the picture
- Front nostril opening: air and scent particles enter here.
- Wet nose surface and droplets: scent particles stick to the moisture.
- Side slit: air flows out here.
- Smell sensor patch: tiny hairs inside the nose that detect scent.
Examples
- A dog sniffing a sidewalk where another dog walked.
- A dog finding a treat hidden under a cup.
Key takeaways
- The nose’s shape guides air in and out.
- A wet nose helps catch scent particles so the dog can smell them.
