Preferred Label : ethmoidal process of inferior nasal concha;
Uberon definition : Behind the lacrimal process of the inferior nasal conchae lies a broad, thin plate,
the ethmoidal process, which ascends to join the uncinate process of the ethmoid;
from its lower border a thin lamina, the maxillary process, curves downward and lateralward;
it articulates with the maxilla and forms a part of the medial wall of the maxillary
sinus.;
