Where is the ethmoid located
Between the orbits on the midline
Where is the cribriform plate
This is on the superior surface and is made up of lots of little holes
Where is the crista galli
This is the projection from the cribriform plate which is anterior
Where is the labyrinths of the lateral masses
These are either side of the midline and are formed of ethmoidal cells
Where is the perpendicular plate
This is on the inferior view and is the plate along the midline which sticks out anteriorly
Where is the lateral plate
These are the smooth surfaces along the sides
Where are the superior and middle concha
Better seen in the posterior view the superior is the top curl and the middle the bottom curl
