Let us examine the structure of the inferior nasal concha (concha nasalis inferior). At the top, it is connected with the conchal crest of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone.
From the superior border of this bone depart three processes:
lacrimal process (processus lacrimalis), which is connected to the lacrimal bone
maxillary process (processus maxillaris), which is slightly covering the maxillary hiatus
ethmoidal process (processus ethmoidalis), which is connected to the uncinate process of the ethmoidal bone
The inferior nasal meatus (meatus nasalis inferior) is formed under the inferior nasal concha
