The superior nasal concha is a small, bony structure located in the nasal cavity. It is one of three conchae, which are curved bony plates that help to filter and humidify the air we breathe. The superior nasal concha is situated above the middle nasal concha and plays a role in the respiratory system by increasing the surface area of the nasal cavity. This concha is part of the ethmoid bone, which is a complex bone located between the eyes. The superior nasal concha is covered by a mucous membrane that helps trap dust and pathogens, contributing to the overall function of the nasal passages in protecting the lungs and maintaining respiratory health.
