In many carnivores and ungulates, the maxilloturbinal is the most complex element immediately posterior to the vestibule[PMID:25312359]
While the maxilloturbinates of mammals are located in the path of airflow to collect moisture, sensory turbinates in both mammals and reptiles are positioned farther back and above the nasal passage, away from the flow of air
in FMA this is not classified with the other turbinates. In Uberon we subdivide the turbinates into the ethmoturbinates and the inferior turbinate. EDITOR NOTE: TODO check ethmoidal process of inferior nasal concha
