The inferior nasal conchae

B)contain the nerves for olfaction.
C)create turbulence in the nasal passageways.
D)protect the pituitary gland.
E)attach muscles that move the eyelids.

Accepted Answer

The inferior nasal conchae are bony structures that project into the nasal passageways and create turbulence in the airflow, helping to warm and humidify the air as it enters the body. They do not attach muscles that move the eye or the eyelids, contain the nerves for olfaction, or protect the pituitary gland.
