Lateral wall of nasal cavity, showing ethmoid bone in position. (Superior and middle in pink, and inferior in blue.) In anatomy, a nasal concha (/ ˈkɒnkə /; pl.: conchae; / ˈkɒnkiː /; Latin for 'shell'), also called a nasal turbinate or turbinal, [1][2] is a long, narrow, curled shelf of bone that protrudes into the breathing passage of ...
The nasal cycle is the subconscious [1][2] alternating partial congestion and decongestion of the nasal cavities in humans and other animals. This results in greater airflow through one nostril with periodic alternation between the nostrils. It is a physiological congestion of the nasal conchae, also called the nasal turbinates (curled bony ...
Empty nose syndrome. Altered nasal anatomy after bilateral subtotal inferior turbinectomy, the removal of most turbinate tissue. Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a clinical syndrome, the hallmark symptom of which is a sensation of suffocation despite a clear airway. This syndrome is often referred to as a form of secondary atrophic rhinitis.
The nasal cavity is a large, air-filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. The nasal septum divides the cavity into two cavities, [1] also known as fossae. [2] Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils. The nasal cavity is the uppermost part of the respiratory system and provides the nasal passage for ...
The inferior nasal concha (inferior turbinated bone or inferior turbinal/turbinate) is one of the three paired nasal conchae in the nose. It extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and consists of a lamina of spongy bone, curled upon itself like a scroll, (turbinate meaning inverted cone). [ 1 ]
Chronic atrophic rhinitis. Chronic atrophic rhinitis, or simply atrophic rhinitis, is a chronic inflammation of the nose characterised by atrophy of nasal mucosa, including the glands, turbinate bones and the nerve elements supplying the nose. Chronic atrophic rhinitis may be primary and secondary. Special forms of chronic atrophic rhinitis are ...
Your nose has things called turbinates, which are bony structures in the nasal passages that have mucus membranes and help with filtering and humidifying the air that you breathe in, making it ...
Middle nasal concha. Ethmoid bone from behind. Lateral wall of nasal cavity, showing ethmoid bone in position. (Middle nasal concha is at bottom of pink region.) The medial surface of the labyrinth of ethmoid consists of a thin lamella, which descends from the under surface of the cribriform plate, and ends below in a free, convoluted margin ...
