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". [1]
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
It measures 2–4 mm in diameter [1] with an average diameter of 2.4 mm. [2] [3] It opens into the nasal cavity inferior to the bulla ethmoidalis , and is partly obscured by the inferior end of the uncinate process of ethmoid bone .

The average length of the uncinate fasciculus is 45 mm with a range 40–49 mm. Its volume in adults is 1425.9±138.6 mm 3, being slightly larger in men, at 1504.3±150.4, than women 1378.5±107.4. [2] It has three parts: a ventral or frontal extension, an intermediary segment called the isthmus or insular segment and a temporal or dorsal segment.

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 ]
There is a hook-shaped uncinate process on the side edges of the top surface of the bodies of the third to the seventh cervical vertebrae and of the first thoracic vertebra. Together with the vertebral disc, this uncinate process prevents a vertebra from sliding backward off the vertebra below it and limits lateral flexion (side-bending).
