👉 The term "catophractes" is a medical term used in medicine, specifically in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the structure of the nose and ears. The catophrax or nasal septum is a thickened part of the outer wall of the nose that allows for easier breathing while also providing protection from dust, pollen, and other allergens. It's often associated with conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
