CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Definition:The small curved bones that extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal passage.
Comment:[taxon-note] "In humans, the turbinates divide the nasal airway into three groove-like air passages -and are responsible for forcing inhaled air to flow in a steady, regular pattern around the largest possible surface of cilia and climate controlling tissue." xsd:string {source="WP,unvetted"}; [taxon-note] "Turbinals are only ossified in birds and derived synapsids."
Synonyms:exact_synonym: ossified nasal turbinal;   ossified nasal turbinate;   ossified turbinate;   turbinal bone
 related_synonym: concha
