Epomedicine, Aug 4, 2023Aug 4, 2023

Lateral wall of nasal cavity has:

  1. Conchae or turbinates: shelf like projections
  2. Meatus: air space inferior to each concha

Mnemonic: SPIN

1. Superior meatus: Posterior ethmoidal sinus

2. Inferior meatus: Nasolacrimal duct

  1. Anterior ethmoidal sinus
  2. Middle ethmoidal sinus
