Histomorphological aspects of nasal hyperreactivity

The Authors indicate the main elements which make up the hystological and functional basis of the nasal "organ". Hyperreactivity is defined and the consequential modifications of certain parameters of the system--for example secretion--are studied. Tos's theory is carefully analyzed, underlining the fact that the gland component of nasal mucosa is of considerable importance in morpho-functional modifications related to nasal hyperactivity.
