Definitions

1. Turbinates are composed of pseudostratified columnar, ciliated respiratory epithelium with a thick, vascular and erectile glandular tissue layer. (Web site)
2. Turbinates are like wings along the sidewalls of your nasal cavity, opposite your midline nasal septum.
3. The turbinates are wing-like structures that jut in from the side-walls of your nose that look like wings. (Web site)
4. The turbinates are finger-like projections on the inside of the nose on each side which humidify and clean the air as we breathe.
5. The turbinates are also responsible for filtration, heating and humidification of air inhaled through the nose. (Web site)

Supreme Turbinates

1. Supreme turbinates are the smallest of all turbinates. (Web site)

Close

1. Pressure pads 1204 mounted on prongs 114 then close against the turbinates, holding them against the septum while the adhesive sets. (Web site)

Space

1. Turbinates can expand or contract in order to open or close the space. (Web site)

Reduction

1. Nasal surgery (septoplasty, reduction of the size of the turbinates), and procedures to scar the palate and tongue base may help.
2. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Since the early 80s various types of lasers have been used for the reduction of hyperplastic inferior nasal turbinates. (Web site)

Surface Area

1. Protruding into each breathing passage are bony projections, called turbinates, which help to increase the surface area of the inside of the nose. (Web site)

Cleansing

1. As the air passes through the turbinates, the air is churned against these mucosa-lined bones in order to receive warmth, moisture and cleansing.

Patient

1. He further observed and documented that the turbinates in the dependent nasal fossa filled when the patient was in the lateral decubitus position. (Web site)
2. Yes. In addition to a deviated septum, a patient may also have large turbinates.

Surgical Procedure

1. The turbinates may be reduced in size by a surgical procedure in the Operating Room.

Edematous

1. A discharge from the nares may be present, the nasal mucosa and turbinates may be edematous and hyperemic, and a purulent discharge may be present.

Inferior Nasal Concha

1. The inferior nasal concha (Inferior Turbinated Bone) is one of the turbinates in the nose.
2. Lower turbinate (inferior nasal concha) - one of the three nasal turbinates which lies between the middle meatus and the lower meatus. (Web site)

Nasal Breathing

1. Sometimes the turbinates are large enough to cause significant difficulty with nasal breathing.
2. Some patients will have both large turbinates and a deviated septum, which can further worsen nasal breathing.

Allergies

1. I also have been told by ENT's that my turbinates are unusually swollen, most likely due to my allergies. (Web site)

Sinus

1. The turbinates in nasal and sinus surgery: A consensus statement.

Side

1. Each side of the nasal cavity features three curved ledges, called turbinates or conchae.

Swollen

1. Large, swollen turbinates may lead to blockage of nasal breathing. (Web site)
2. How swollen and wet the turbinates are depends on two competing streams of instructions coming through the housekeeper nervous system. (Web site)

Scrolls

1. These turbinates appear as scrolls of bone, delicate, covered by ciliated columnar epithelium. (Web site)

Nasal Cavity

1. On the sides of the nasal cavity are three horizontal outgrowths called turbinates or conchae (singular "concha"). (Web site)
2. The inferior nasal conchae (or turbinates) are the lower pair of curved ledges on the walls of the nasal cavity. (Web site)

Cilia

1. Doctors have therefore come up with various ways to reduce the blockage of your nasal passages without removing your turbinates and their cilia. (Web site)

Middle

1. In a further embodiment a temporary clamp 1502 holds the middle turbinates against the septum while the burns adhere as illustrated in FIG. 15. (Web site)
2. On the lateral nasal wall, there are usually three nasal turbinates: inferior, middle, and superior. (Web site)

Superior

1. Among these turbinates the superior and the middle turbinates are components of the ethmodial complex where as the inferior turbinate is a separate bone. (Web site)
2. These are referred to as the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae or turbinates.
3. There are three turbinates on each side of the nose (inferior, middle, superior). (Web site)

Shelves

1. Shelves called turbinates run along the side walls of the space. (Web site)

Respiration

1. Generally, because the turbinates are essential for respiration, only small amounts of turbinate tissue are removed. (Web site)
2. This may relate to a deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates, or inward motion of nasal sidewalls with respiration (nasal valve collapse). (Web site)

Nose

1. As the animal sniffs, the air flows through the nose and over structures called turbinates in the nasal cavity.
2. The inferior turbinate, which is larger than the other turbinates, runs parallel to the floor of the nose.
3. The turbinates are shelves on the side of the nose.

Inferior Turbinates

1. The inferior turbinates are not destroyed and thus, problems of septal infection, necrosis and possible perforation of the septum is eliminated. (Web site)
2. Basically the only surgery that is done to the inferior turbinates, is surgery designed to reduce the size. (Web site)

Inferior

1. The superior, middle and inferior turbinates. (Web site)
2. In patients with a significant allergic component to their problems, the inferior turbinates may be edematous. (Web site)
3. There are two pairs of important turbinates, the inferior turbinates and the middle turbinates. (Web site)

Nasal

1. Nasal turbinates: The turbinates are the most prominent feature of the lateral nasal wall. (Web site)
2. There are other parts of your nasal anatomy that contributes to your ability to breathe, which includes your nasal turbinates and your nostrils. (Web site)
3. Most people know about the septum and sinuses when it comes to breathing, but not many people (even most doctors) know about the nasal turbinates. (Web site)

Septum

1. What's more important than how crooked you septum is is how big are your turbinates, and how flimsy are your nostrils. (Web site)
2. Adhesions can also occur, which are scars that form to bridge across the nasal cavity from the septum to the turbinates.
3. These turbinates disrupt the airflow, directing air toward the olfactory epithelium on the surface of the turbinates and the septum. (Web site)

Turbinates

1. There are three turbinates on each side of the nose (inferior or lower turbinates, middle turbinates, superior or upper turbinates).
2. If the septum deviates to one side, the turbinates on the opposite side will enlarge. (Web site)
3. Turbinate Surgery The turbinates are the fleshy tissues in the nose that warm, filter and humidify the air we breath in.
