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.

Term:inferior nasal concha

Accession:UBERON:0005922 term browser browse the term
Definition:A turbinal located on the maxilla bone.
Comment:[function-note] "While the maxilloturbinates of mammals are located in the path of airflow to collect moisture, sensory turbinates in both mammals and reptiles are positioned farther back and above the nasal passage, away from the flow of air"; [taxon-note] "In many carnivores and ungulates, the maxilloturbinal is the most complex element immediately posterior to the vestibule[PMID:25312359]"
Synonyms:exact_synonym: inferior nasal turbinate;   inferior nasal turbinate bone;   inferior turbinate
 related_synonym: concha nasalis inferior;   concha nasi inferior;   inferior concha;   inferior turbinated;   maxilloturbinal
