The inferior turbi nated bone is situated at the inner wall 

 of the body of the superior maxilla; its concave surface looks toward 

 this wall, its convex surface toward the Septum narium. The lower mar- 

 gin is rolled upon itself; at the upper margin arises the maxillary pro- 

 cess, Processes maxillaris, which helps to make the opening of the ant rum 

 of Highmore smaller. In front of this process, the lachrymal process, 

 Processus lacrymalis, is situated, partially forming the Canal is naso-lacry malts. 

 The ethmoidal process, Processus etlimoidalis. is not constant. The anterior 

 and posterior ends of the bone come in contact with the inferior tur- 

 binated crest of the superior maxillary and palate bones. 



The inferior turbinated Lone articulates with 4 bones: 1 cranial 

 bone, the ethmoid, and 3 of the face, the superior maxillary, palate and lachry- 

 mal bones.
