Inferior nasal concha

Inferior Nasal Concha AR Atlas

The inferior nasal concha articulates with (6):

• Lacrimal Bone
• Ethmoid Bone
• Palatine Bone
• Maxilla

• Inferior nasal concha: The inferior nasal concha is a curled bone that is positioned on the lateral aspect of the nasal cavity (1)

• Lacrimal process: The lacrimal process is a small process positioned on the anterior part of the superior border. It takes part in the formation of the nasolacrimal duct (1)
• Maxillary process of inferior nasal concha: Maxillary process of inferior nasal concha articulates with the maxilla and forms a part of the maxillary sinus. (1)
• Ethmoidal process: It is located posterior to the lacrimal process. It articulates with the uncinate process of the ethmoid bone. (1)
