Uncinate process of ethmoid bone

Latin
  
processus uncinatus ossis ethmoidalis

In the ethmoid bone, a curved lamina, the uncinate process, projects downward and backward from this part of the labyrinth; it forms a small part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, and articulates with the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha.
