Increased air turbulance in the nasal cavity helps moisten and warm the air before it gets to your lungs. Have you ever taken a breath of air on a cold winter day and it hurts your lungs? So increasing the amount of time before it gets to the lungs helps prep the air so you do no harm to them

This will warm and moisten the air to help protect the lungs. There are three conchae in the nasal cavity, a superior, middle and inferior conchae (aka turbinates).
Is nose and nasal cavity the same?
a tooth cavity
Increases air turbulance in the nasal cavity?
The scroll-shaped conchae increase the turbulenceof air flowing through the nasal cavity.
What increases air turbulance in the nasal cavity?
The inferior nasal conchae create turbulence in air passing through the nasal cavity, and increase the epithelial surface area to promote warming and humidification of inhaled air.
What is the difference between the bony nasal cavity and the nasal cavity?
The bony nasal cavity is made up of the hard palate and the palatine process of the maxilla. The nasal cavity is made up of the rest of the nasal sinuses and includes the bony nasal cavity.
