The nose is a part of the respiratory system of the body, a system which includes the lungs and airways to.The respiratory system is what makes it possible for the body to inhale and exhale air to breathe. The nose is also a sensory organ. It is responsible for the body’s sense of smell. Sometimes symptoms affecting the nose can be seen with the eye. Although diagnosing a nose related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective. Symptoms relating to the nose may affect its structure, shape and/ or function.

The skeletal system is made up of all of the bones and joints of the body. This includes 270 bones at birth, which reduces to 206 once an individual reaches adulthood as some bones fuse together during this period. The skeletal system has many crucial functions including the protection of crucial body organs, body movement, storing minerals and fats and forming blood cells. Symptoms affecting the skeletal system may be seen with the naked eye. Diagnosing a skeletal related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.

A nose measuring more than two standard deviations below the norm. This measurement can be taken from the tip of the nose to the top of the upper lip, or from the nasal root to the nasal tip. A small nose is one that has both a decreased length and width.
Short stature is defined as one that is below the average height for a patient’s age and gender. This is generally calculated as 2 standard deviations below average. A short statute may have no underlying cause other than a family history of lower than average heights amongst family members.

A thumb that is underdeveloped (hypoplasia) at birth. This is often referred to as a congenital reduction of the thumb. A short thumb will appear smaller.

Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome. Limbs refer to the arms and legs of the body. They also include the hands and feet connected to the main limbs. Parts of the limbs include the fingers and toes, known as digits. The limbs are an essential part of many different functions of the body, including movement, feeding and other necessary daily skills. Symptoms and features affecting the development and functioning of the limbs may also impact on these activities as well. Generally, symptoms affecting the limbs may be seen with the naked eye. Although diagnosing a limb related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.
It is the presence of a single transverse crease on the palm. In most cases a person will have 2-3 creases. A single crease is when the distal and proximal creases merge together to make one single one.
