The uncinate process can be attached to either the lateral nasal wall, on the lamina papyracea (50%), the anterior cranial fossa, on the ethmoidal roof (25%), or the middle concha (25%). The superior attachment of the uncinate process determines the drainage pattern of the frontal sinus.
(Uncinate means hooked from Latin uncinatus, from uncinus, barb, from uncus, hook.) They are found in birds (except for screamers), reptiles, and the early amphibian Ichthyostega. [1] These processes can serve to attach scapula muscles, [1] and help to strengthen the rib cage overlapping with the rib behind them.
In anatomy, a process (Latin: processus) is a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body. [1] For instance, in a vertebra, a process may serve for muscle attachment and leverage (as in the case of the transverse and spinous processes), or to fit (forming a synovial joint), with another vertebra (as in the case of the articular processes).

The uncinate process is a small part of the pancreas. The uncinate process is the formed prolongation of the angle of junction of the lower and left lateral borders in the head of the pancreas . The word "uncinate" comes from the Latin "uncinatus", meaning "hooked".
Uncinate process of ethmoid bone, a process located in the nasal cavity; Uncinate process of vertebra, a hook-shaped process on the lateral borders (side edges) of the superior (top) surface of the vertebral bodies of the third to the seventh cervical vertebrae; Uncinate process of pancreas, a small projection from the pancreas
The ethmoid bone (/ ˈ ɛ θ m ɔɪ d /; [1] [2] from Ancient Greek: ἡθμός, romanized: hēthmós, lit. 'sieve') is an unpaired bone in the skull that separates the nasal cavity from the brain.
Uncinate, meaning "hooked," can have several meanings in anatomy. Uncinate process of pancreas; Uncinate process of ethmoid bone, close to nasal sinus
In anatomy, Luschka's joints (also called uncovertebral joints, neurocentral joints) [1] are formed between uncinate process or "uncus" below and uncovertebral articulation above. [2] They are located in the cervical region of the vertebral column from C3 to C7. [ 3 ]
