Nasal turbinates consist of an intricate maze of bones tucked inside the dog's snout. These scroll-like bones, which are covered in mucous, help maximize the surface area inside the nose which ...

The turbinates refer to long, narrow tissues that helps warm and moisten the air that flows in through the nose. They also help clear foreign particles and assist with the flow of mucus.

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology: Ecological and Evolutionary Approaches, Vol. 73, No. 5 (September/October 2000), pp. 581-589 (9 pages) Abstract Nasal respiratory turbinates are complex, ...

The turbinates and overlying soft tissue at the front warmed and moistened incoming air, while the structures towards the rear of the protomammal’s capacious nasal cavity picked up scents.

Complex nasal turbinal bones are associated with reduction of respiratory water loss in desert mammals and have previously been described as an adaptation to xeric conditions. However, complex ...

The turbinates also help with mucus transport, keeping the nose moist, and warming air that enters the nose. When they are swollen or diseased, all of these functions are thrown off.

Turbinates were the solution. Even though the actual, fossil turbinates couldn’t be teased out and reconstructed in their true form, Bourke and colleagues fashioned four models with different ...

Nayak, of Palo Alto, Calif., is among a handful of surgeons in North America who are now using implants or special injections to bulk up ENS patients’ turbinates.
