- '''Dorsal nasal meatus''': the passage between the roof of the nasal cavity and the dorsal nasal concha
- '''Dorsal nasal meatus''': the passage between the roof of the nasal cavity and the dorsal nasal concha
- '''Middle nasal meatus''': between the dorsal and ventral conchae, and communicates with the paranasal sinuses
- '''Middle nasal meatus''': between the dorsal and ventral conchae, and communicates with the [[Paranasal sinuses - Anatomy & Physiology|paranasal sinuses]].
- '''Ventral nasal meatus''': the main pathway for airflow leading to the pharynx, and is positioned between the ventral nasal concha and the floor of the nasal cavity
- '''Ventral nasal meatus''': the main pathway for airflow leading to the pharynx, and is positioned between the ventral nasal concha and the floor of the nasal cavity.
- '''Common nasal meatus''': the longitudinal space on either side of the nasal septum
- '''Common nasal meatus''': the longitudinal space on either side of the nasal septum.
