nose
Let an agent explain the anatomy and functions of the nose, route nasal symptoms and injuries to care, describe nose shapes neutrally without stereotyping, and cover animal noses.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the anatomy and functions of the nose, route nasal symptoms and injuries to care, describe nose shapes neutrally without stereotyping, and cover animal noses.
The organ of smell and part of the respiratory tract in vertebrates, in humans a projecting structure with two nostrils leading to the nasal cavity that warms, filters and humidifies air and houses olfactory receptors, and in other animals ranging from muzzles to the elephant trunk; the nose varies in shape between individuals and populations, and describing it must avoid ethnic stereotypes.
What it is for: Smell and breathing.
It can be explain anatomy and function; route symptoms and injuries to care; describe variation neutrally; describe animal noses.
