nasal seromucous and serous glands #3313

Open dosumis opened 1 month ago

dosumis commented 1 month ago

We have a general term covering glands in the nasal mucosa (olfactory and respiratory)

rdfs:label "gland of nasal mucosa" id "UBERON:0012278" has_obo_namespace "uberon" definition "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."

But we don't have terms for the serous and serumucous glands referenced here.

Some research is needed to get the details of structure, function and location correct for these glands in humans (we have some glands for rodents)
