Summary Introduction
To determine:
The conclusion drawn by Ruben and colleagues by using turbinates and nasal cavities.
Concept introduction:
Turbinates are important structures present in the nasal airway. Its primary function is to warm and humidify the air that a person breathes in. The nasal cavity is a large air-filled space present above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. These cavities lead to each of the two nostrils.
