What Wikipedia says

A nasal concha (; pl.: conchae; ; Latin for 'shell') is a long, narrow, curled shelf of bone that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose in humans and various other animals. The conchae are shaped like an elongated seashell, which gave them their name (Latin concha from Greek κόγχη).
