Description:
Ethnoid bone: lateral view. The ethmoid bone is localized between the orbits and is a significant part of the nasal cavity. It is an unpaired bone, made almost entirely by thin bony lamellae. Note the processus uncinatus — the tiny plate of a complex shape bending along to the bulla ethmoidalis and, in most cases, anteriorly attached to the lamina papyracea. The processus uncinatus is believed to play an essential role in the prevention of the non-sterile inspired air from contacting the sinus surface and directing the sterile expired air toward the sinuses. Version without labels.
