In anatomy, a nasal concha (/ ˈ k ɒ n k ə /; pl.: conchae; / ˈ k ɒ n k iː /; 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 nose in humans and various other animals.

2023年9月13日 · The nasal conchae (also known as turbinates) are bony plates located on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. There are three nasal conchae in each nasal cavity including the superior, middle and inferior nasal conchae.

Understanding the anatomy and function of the nasal conchae is crucial when treating nasal and orofacial disorders. The nasal turbinates, also known as nasal conchae, are curved, bony structures protruding from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity. The 3 pairs of turbinates are the inferior, middle, and superior turbinates.

2018年12月12日 · The nasal conchae or turbinates are long, narrow curled shelves of bone that protrude into the nasal cavity. The superior, middle and inferior conchae divide the nasal cavity into four groove-like air passages.

2025年1月27日 · The nasal conchae, also known as turbinates, are long, narrow, and curved bony structures located within the lateral walls of the nasal cavity.[2] They are covered by a highly vascularized mucous membrane and are essential for the conditioning of inhaled air.

The nasal cavity presents several long, narrow and paired formations on its lateral wall called conchae or conchas. These formations are shaped like curved shelves of bone. Each lateral wall of the nasal cavity contains three nasal conchae:

The antihelix describes a curve around a deep, capacious cavity, the concha, which is partially divided into two parts by the crus of the helix; the upper part is termed the cymba conchæ, the lower part the cavity of concha (cavum conchæ).

2024年11月30日 · The inferior nasal concha represents a crucial component of the nasal cavity’s anatomical structure, playing a vital role in respiratory function and air conditioning. This detailed anatomical illustration demonstrates the relationship between various bones that form the nasal cavity and surrounding structures, highlighting their ...
