The inferior turbinate is located at the lowermost part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and consists of the inferior turbinate bone and the mucous membrane covering the surface of the turbinate, as well as the submucosal tissue. There are three turbinates in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity from the bottom up, namely the inferior, middle, and superior turbinates, the largest being the inferior turbinate. The surface is covered with thick mucosa, the free edge protrudes to the bottom of the nose, and the back end is 1cm from the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube.When looking in the mirror, you can find that there are two rounded balls inside the nasal cavity, which are usually the inferior turbinates of the human being. The inferior turbinate has a particularly important role to play in maintaining the resistance of the nasal cavity on both sides of the effect can help regulate the air flow, effectively maintain smooth breathing, but also to the inhalation of gas warming, humidification and cleaning. Rhinitis can lead to enlargement and hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, resulting in some degree of nasal congestion, so enlarged or hypertrophied inferior turbinate is a manifestation of rhinitis. By treating rhinitis, the enlarged or hypertrophied inferior turbinate can be reduced to a normal size. If necessary, inferior turbinate surgery can be performed to reduce the size of the inferior turbinate, thus improving the symptoms of nasal congestion.
