Almost immediately upon learning this, I began to explore my nasal cavity. When I come up, where the palate separates the nasal cavity from the mouth, I feel something that's like a soft plain. I find when I'm having a lot of mucus drainage, there is this very thick mucus that is almost like a very thick wire and that cannot be "cut" with the tongue so to speak. When there isn't much, the mucus is very thin and watery and I can often collect it with my tongue. As I go further to the front, I can feel a very thin bone that I know now separates the 2 nostrils. In the back of each nostril, I can feel a sort of pouch like thing. I find that when my nose is stuffy, the pouches almost fill the nostrils and may have a rough texture; whereas when my nose is clear, they are small and soft, receded to the bone that separates the nostrils. I find that I can't really move my tongue into my nostrils. If I go to the sides, there are these very protruding bones. If I go to the top and back, I can feel a bone that is like a bump. If I go to the top of the nasal cavity, there is this weird, almost alien, pouch thing. It's hard to describe, to be honest, and I'm not sure what it is. I find it gets kinda irritated if I move my tongue on it too much, though.
