Paries lateralis cavitatis nasi dexter · Pravá boční stěna dutiny nosní

Skeleton

Looks like

The outer side wall of each nasal passage, with three shelf-like conchae and the channels (meatuses) beneath them.

What it does

Holds the openings where the sinuses and the tear duct drain into the nose.

Keeping it well

Sinus surgery works here to widen the drainage paths. Recurrent sinusitis often reflects blockage of these openings.
