Nasal Concha


Recommended Posts

Are humans the only mammals with nasal concha features?

 

All mammals have them. In zoology they're usually referred to as turbinates, ethmoturbinates if they attach to the ethmoid, nasoturbinates if the connect to the nasal, etc.

 

Humans actually have particularly puny turbinates for mammals.
