Nasal Concha Superior

The superior nasal concha (concha nasalis superior) is one of three nasal conchas located in the human nasal cavity. It is the upper part of the nasal concha and is located on the side wall of the nose. The superior turbinate is pyramid-shaped and consists of several layers of tissue, including cartilage, bone, and connective tissue. It plays an important role in producing sound and protecting the respiratory tract from infections.

The superior nasal concha is involved in the breathing process and protects the respiratory tract from environmental pollution. It also helps shape the sound we hear when speaking and singing. The superior turbinate can be damaged by trauma to the nose or surgery, which can lead to breathing and hearing problems.

To keep your superior turbinate healthy, you need to keep your airways clear and avoid inhaling contaminated air. It is also important to avoid injuries to the nose and promptly consult a doctor if you have any problems with the nasal turbinates.
