What is the plural of meatus?
Meatus is the Latin plural. Apparently, meatus or meatuses can be correct in English. "...the plural of meatus remains meatus in Latin or becomes meatuses in English..." Per http://www.dartmouth.edu/~humananatomy/resources/etymology.htm And also some references such as Dorland's state that the plural is also meatus. This appears to be one of those things that is changing over as doctors use it (correctly or incorrectly). Docs say meatuses per my personal experience.

Why is increased air turbulance in nasal cavity important?
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
Superior and medial nasal conchae form what projections?
the ethmoid bone
