nasal concha
turbinate

For the cranial structure, see Maxillary process of inferior nasal concha.

The bone found in superior nasal concha is part of the ethmoid bone.

Inferior nasal concha (2)

More anteriorly is an oblique ridge, the conchal crest, for articulation with the inferior nasal concha.

The inferior nasal concha (inferior turbinated bone) is one of the turbinates in the nose.

It is located midway at the anterior edge of the middle nasal concha, directly above the atrium of the middle meatus.

Santorini's concha: The superior nasal concha (turbinate).

It is a physiological congestion of the nasal concha due to selective activation of one half of the autonomic nervous system by the hypothalamus.

Each inferior nasal concha is considered a pair of facial bones since they arise from the maxillae bones and projects horizontally into the nasal cavity.

The inferior nasal concha is ossified from a single center, which appears about the fifth month of fetal life in the lateral wall of the cartilaginous nasal capsule.

The human palatine articulates with six bones: the sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, inferior nasal concha, vomer and opposite palatine.

The lacrimal articulates with four bones: two of the cranium, the frontal and ethmoid, and two of the face, the maxilla and the inferior nasal concha.

In anatomy, a nasal concha (or turbinate) is a long, narrow and curled bone shelf (shaped like an elongated sea-shell) that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose.

It consists of a thin lamella, which descends from the under surface of the cribriform plate, and ends below in a free, convoluted margin, the middle nasal concha.

The Eustachian tube extends from the anterior wall of the middle ear to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx, approximately at the level of the inferior nasal concha.

The irregular bones are: the vertebræ, sacrum, coccyx, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, zygomatic, maxilla, mandible, palatine, inferior nasal concha, and hyoid.

The posterior group (sometimes the posterior ethmoid sinus) drains into the superior meatus above the middle nasal concha; sometimes one or more opens into the sphenoidal sinus.

The olfactory epithelium, which contains olfactory receptor cells, covers the inferior surface of the cribiform plate, the superior portion of the perpendicular plate, the superior nasal concha.

Superior to inferior nasal concha are the middle nasal concha and superior nasal concha which arise from the cranial portion of the skull.

It is rough, and marked above by numerous grooves, directed nearly vertically downward from the cribriform plate; they lodge branches of the olfactory nerves, which are distributed to the mucous membrane covering the superior nasal concha.

From the lower border of the inferior nasal concha, a thin lamina, the maxillary process, curves downward and laterally; it articulates with the maxilla and forms a part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus.

The back part of the medial surface of the labyrinth of ethmoid is subdivided by a narrow oblique fissure, the superior meatus of the nose, bounded above by a thin, curved plate, the superior nasal concha.

Below, and in front of the superior meatus, is the convex surface of the middle nasal concha; it extends along the whole length of the medial surface of the labyrinth, and its lower margin is free and thick.

Molecules of odorants passing through the superior nasal concha of the nasal passages dissolve in the mucus lining the superior portion of the cavity and are detected by olfactory receptors on the dendrites of the olfactory sensory neurons.

It is bounded inferiorly and anteriorly by the sharp concave margin of the uncinate process of the ethmoid bone, superiorly by the ethmoidal bulla, and posteriorly by the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha.

Though the floor of the nose and inferior turbinate are the most common sites, the lesions may appear in elsewhere too.

The small, solid shell has a turbinate or globose shape.

The most physiological location for an implant is the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, where the inferior turbinate used to project from.

Often the inferior turbinate on the opposite side enlarges, which is termed compensatory hypertrophy.

Each pair is composed of one turbinate in either side of the nasal cavity, divided by the septum.

Most inhaled airflow travels between the inferior turbinate and the middle meatus.

Bullosa refers to the air-filled cavity within the turbinate.

They often form between the septum, which separates the nostrils, and one of the wavy structures inside the nose (inferior turbinate).

Was it the Turbinate?"

In such a case the turbinate can be reduced in size by endoscopic nasal surgery (turbinectomy).

Mucus is a normal protective layering around the airway, eye, nasal turbinate, and urogenital tract.

The calyx is canescent and turbinate.

(Concha is another term for turbinate.)

Stromata of some species (Podostroma) are clavate or turbinate.

A concha bullosa is a pneumatized (air-filled) cavity within a turbinate in the nose.

Turbinoform or Turbinate: having a broadly conical spire and a convex base, as in Turbo, turban-shaped.

The internal nasal valve comprises the area bounded by the upper lateral-cartilage, the septum, the nasal floor, and the anterior head of the inferior turbinate.

Santorini's concha: The superior nasal concha (turbinate).

Dr. Houser: "this is especially true in cases of anterior inferior turbinate (IT) resection because of its important role in the internal nasal valve."

Occasionally, a large concha bullosa within a turbinate may cause it to bulge sufficiently to obstruct the opening of an adjacent sinus, possibly leading to recurrent sinusitis.

Concha bullosa is an abnormal pneumatization of the middle turbinate, which may interfere with normal ventilation of sinus ostia and can result in recurrent sinusitis.

The group differs from Oscilla in being thin and turbinate, with the axis more or less perforated, and with the parietal fold either obsolete or entirely concealed".

In anatomy, a nasal concha (or turbinate) is a long, narrow and curled bone shelf (shaped like an elongated sea-shell) that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose.

The superior turbinate has been implicated in rhinogenic migraines, where abnormal turbinate-septal contact is thought to provide noxious stimuli along the trigeminal tree.
