WASHINGTON: Scientists have figured out how cats can locate food , allies and enemies. This research was published in PLoS Computational Biology. A complicated network of tightly coiling bony airway structures is to blame, according to the first thorough investigation of the domestic cat's nasal airway. In order to mimic how air containing typical cat food scents would pass through the coiled structures during an inhalation, the researchers built a 3D computer model of the cat's nose . They found that the air divides into two flow streams, one of which purifies and humidifies the air, and another of which swiftly and effectively transports the odorant to the part of the body responsible for smell, the olfactory region. According to the experts, the cat nose serves as a highly effective and dual-purpose gas.A complicated network of tightly coiling bony airway structures is to blame, according to the first thorough investigation of the domestic cat's nasal airwa...
