The ________ Project from the Lateral Walls of the Nasal

Question

The ________ project from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity increasing its surface area.
A)nasal bones
B)palatine bones
C)palatine tonsils
D)nasal conchae

Accepted Answer

The nasal conchae are structures that project from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, increasing its surface area. This results in more effective filtering, warming, and humidifying of the air we breathe. The nasal bones and palatine bones are part of the skull and do not contribute to this specific function. The palatine tonsils are located in the oropharynx, not in the nasal cavity.
