whirl.] (Anat.)
Rolled in a spiral; scroll-like; turbinate; -- applied to the
thin, plicated, bony or cartilaginous plates which support
the olfactory and mucous membranes of the nasal chambers.
Note: There are usually several of these plates in each nasal
chamber. The upper ones, connected directly with the
ethmoid bone, are called ethmoturbinals, and the lower,
connected with the maxill[ae], maxillo-turbinals.
Incurved portions of the wall of the nasal chamber are
sometimes called pseudoturbinals, to distinguish them
from the true turbinals which are free outgrowths into
the chambers.
\Tur"bi*nal\, n. (Anat.) A turbinal bone or cartilage. |
