Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inferior nasal conchae are scroll-like bones that project into the nasal cavity, increasing its surface area and helping to filter and warm incoming air. The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, lacrimal bones, and nasal bones contribute to the structure of the nasal cavity, but do not significantly increase its surface area.
