31. Turbinates , it turns out, are essential to the health of the chambers and are primary defenders against disease.32. Animals with respiratory turbinates can breathe faster without drying out their lungs, and consequently can have a faster metabolism. 33. One grave is outlined with large turbinate seashells, covered with small gravel and marked by a small burial marker. 34. These turbinates disrupt the airflow, directing air toward the olfactory epithelium on the surface of the turbinates and the septum. 35. These turbinates disrupt the airflow, directing air toward the olfactory epithelium on the surface of the turbinates and the septum. 36. A fourth complex consists of species with small, turbinate shells, strongly sculptured with the outer lip serrate or undulating. 37. The seeds are oval ( or turbinate like a top ) shaped, wrinkled and black-brown to brown. 38. On the sides of the nasal cavity are three horizontal outgrowths called nasal conchae ( singular " concha " ) or turbinates . 39. The nasal trigger points where enlarged turbinates are in contact with the nasal septum are addressed with a septoplasty and a turbinectomy. 40. All three turbinates are innervated by pain and temperature receptors, via the trigeminal nerve ( or, the fifth cranial nerve ).
