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.
A curved lamina, the uncinate process, projects downward and backward from this part of the labyrinth; it forms a small part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, and articulates with the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha. [1] The medial surface of the labyrinth forms part of the lateral wall of the corresponding nasal cavity.
The ethmoidal labyrinth is divided by multiple obliquely oriented, parallel lamellae. The first lamellae is equivalent to the uncinate process of ethmoid bone, the second corresponds the ethmoid bulla, and the third is the basal lamella, and the fourth is equivalent to the superior nasal concha.

The ethmoid bone is an anterior cranial bone located between the eyes. [3] It contributes to the medial wall of the orbit, the nasal cavity, and the nasal septum. [3] The ethmoid has three parts: cribriform plate, ethmoidal labyrinth, and perpendicular plate.
ConeBeam computerized tomography image of a post-operative orthognathic surgery. Oral and maxillofacial radiology, also known as dental and maxillofacial radiology, or even more common DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology, is the specialty of dentistry concerned with performance and interpretation of diagnostic imaging used for examining the craniofacial, dental and adjacent structures.
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
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). [2]
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 ]
