The vomer is well developed, and the ethmo-turbinal always forms part of the boundary of the orbit.
Turbinal bones are also developed to some extent; this fact, and the occurrence of a definite though small olfactory fossa constituting important distinctions from the Odontoceti.
The uppermost lamella of each ethmo-turbinal is larger than the others and more distinct.
Pertaining to the maxillary and turbinal regions of the skull.
The anterior extremity of the inferior turbinal has been amputated.
The scissors are pressed very firmly against the outer nasal wall, so as to divide the base of the turbinal as close as possible to its attachment.
It is a good rule to injure the inferior turbinal as little as possible, otherwise a condition of crusting rhinitis may be set up, with secondary atrophy in the pharynx and larynx.
A canula is then inserted in a sloping direction inwards and upwards diagonally across the plane of the middle turbinal until it impinges on the nasal surface of the sphenoid, in the neighbourhood of the ostium (Fig.
Even when healthy, the anterior extremity of the middle turbinal should be amputated (see p.
If the inferior turbinal comes down close to the floor of the nose, the anterior third or half should be removed (see p.
If the inferior turbinal is hypertrophied on the affected side, or comes so low as to obstruct any access to the antro-nasal wall, its anterior extremity should first be removed (see p.
The latter part can also be removed with a spokeshave, as directed for the inferior turbinal (see p.
This may be done not only because it is diseased, but even a healthy middle turbinal may require amputation in order to approach the accessory sinuses or diseases in the deeper regions of the nose.
Part of the healthy inferior turbinal may also require removal--as in the radical operation on the maxillary sinus.
Care should be taken that the direction of the scissors is parallel to the axis of the turbinal body, and that the cut embraces only that portion of the lower area to be removed.
A considerable area of the anterior part of the nasal septum is also visible by anterior rhinoscopy, and between it and the middle turbinal is a narrow chink--the olfactory sulcus.
Amongst the former may be noted as the more common, erectile swelling and hypertrophy of the mucous membrane covering the inferior turbinated bones, and nasal polypi growing from the middle turbinal and middle meatal region.
Pus in the olfactory sulcus, on the upper surface of the middle turbinal posteriorly, and on the vault of the naso-pharynx, is suggestive of sphenoidal suppuration.
Further evidence of its source in the last-named cavities may be gained by finding pus in the superior meatus above the middle turbinal on examination by posterior rhinoscopy.
Occasionally bleeding occurs from one of the anterior ethmoidal veins, and under these circumstances the blood flows downwards between the middle turbinal and the septum.
Defn: Pertaining to the maxillary and turbinalregions of the skull.
In the nasal chamber the maxillo-turbinal is small and doubly folded, and does not cut off the naso-turbinal and adjacent bones from the nasal aperture.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "turbinal" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: corkscrew; helical; spiral; volute; whorled
