inferior nasal concha
The inferior nasal concha is a small, curved bone located inside the nasal cavity. It is one of the three pairs of nasal conchae, which also include the superior nasal concha and middle nasal concha. The primary function of the inferior nasal concha is to help filter, warm, and humidify the air we breathe.
This bone is situated below the middle nasal concha and is the largest of the three. It plays a crucial role in the respiratory system by increasing the surface area of the nasal cavity, allowing for better airflow and improved olfactory function, which is essential for the sense of smell.
