Anatomically related: A concha is an older term for the turbinate. There are three of them; the inferior which is a bone covered with mucous membrane and stands alone, and the middle and superior turbinates, which are are part of the ethmoid bone. Nasal polyps do not arise from these turbinates but from the mucosa lateral to the middle or superior turbinates.
