flat bones
palatine bone





























the palatine bones () are two irregular bones of the facial skeleton in many animal species. together with the maxillae they comprise the hard palate. ("palate" is derived from the latin "palatum".)





























section::::structure.





























the palatine bones are situated at the back of the nasal cavity between the maxilla and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone.





























they contribute to the walls of three cavities: the floor and lateral walls of the nasal cavity, the roof of the mouth, and the floor of the orbits. they help to form the pterygopalatine and pterygoid fossae, and the inferior orbital fissures.

the inferior nasal concha (inferior turbinated bone or inferior turbinal/turbinate) is one of the three paired nasal conchae in the nose. it extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and consists of a lamina of spongy bone, curled upon itself like a scroll, ("turbinate" meaning inverted cone). the inferior nasal conchae are considered a pair of facial bones. as the air passes through the turbinates, the air is churned against these mucosa-lined bones in order to receive warmth, moisture and cleansing. superior to inferior nasal concha are the middle nasal concha and superior nasal concha which arise from the cranial portion of the skull. hence, these two are considered as a part of the cranial bones.
