外鼻閥是由鼻孔側緣(Rim)、鼻小柱(columella)、鼻檻(Sill),與其他如鼻翼(Ala)、鼻中隔(septum)與下外軟骨內側(Medial crus of lower lateral cartilage)組成的外門;而內鼻閥則在鼻前庭更深處1.3公分左右,由上外軟骨(Upper lateral cartilage)、鼻中隔(Septum)與下鼻甲前緣(head of the inferior turbinate)構成。
九成以上的急性鼻竇炎都是病毒造成的。只要抵抗力不夠,病毒接觸鼻腔與結膜後最快8-10小時內會快速複製,一天左右就會出現症狀。最常見的感染源有鼻病毒(Rhinovirus)、流感與副流感病毒(Influenza and parainfluenza virus),使得鼻粘膜腫脹、分泌物增加、鼻纖毛功能降低。

體重過重:每增加10%體重,就會增加6倍阻塞型睡眠呼吸中止症的風險。另外有趣的是,測量自己的頸圍與腰臀比,預測都會比體重與BMI (Body Mass Index=身高cm/體重kg的平方)更準。只要BMI>30,且男性頸圍>17吋(43cm)、女性頸圍>14.5吋(37cm),至少有7成的風險。腰臀比則是男性>0.9,女性>0.85會有高風險。
