What are scroll like extensions that increase the surface of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber known as?
conchae
What is the bony projections in the nasal cavities that increase surface areas are called?
The bony projections are called the superior, middle and inferior conchae. They increase surface area to warm and moisten incoming air.
What is one probable way in which the M. leprae bacilli is spread?
Since untreated patients have a large number of M. leprae bacilli in their nasal secretions, it is thought that transmission may take place via nasal droplets.
Why are the cilia and mucus in the nasal cavity and trachea important?
The combination of cilia and mucous helps to filter out solid particles from the air.
Para nasal sinuses drain into which cavity?
Nasal cavity.
Why is it important that the nasal passages have a such a large surface?

How to get rid of a bump in nose large nasal bridge It's been bothering me for years and I would love any sort of advice?

What are the bony ridges that warm air called?

What is the function of the Nasal Conchae?
The nasal conchae increase the surface area of the cavity to warm, moisten, and filter the air and also to help direct air flow to warm, moisten, and filter small particulates from the inhaled air. When air enters the nostrils, it passes first through the vestibule, which is lined by skin containing coarse hairs that filter out large dust particles. Three shelves formed by projections of the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae extend out of each lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
