Rolled in a spiral; scroll-like; turbinate; — applied to the thin,

plicated, bony or cartilaginous plates which support the olfactory and

mucous membranes of the nasal chambers.

There are usually several of these plates in each nasal chamber. The

upper ones, connected directly with the ethmoid bone, are called

ethmoturbinals, and the lower, connected with the maxillæ,

maxillo-turbinals. Incurved portions of the wall of the nasal chamber

are sometimes called pseudoturbinals, to distinguish them from the true

turbinals which are free outgrowths into the chambers.

Tur"bi*nal, n. (Anat.) A turbinal bone or cartilage.
