The concha is the deep, bowl-shaped part of the ear cartilage that attaches directly to the side of the head at the front of the mastoid process of the skull. The opening to the auditory canal is located in the lower front corner of the concha. The concha helps funnel sound into the auditory canal.

The helix rings the uppermost portion of the ear and forms the rim of the outer ear. The inner curved prominence that lies parallel to the helix is the antihelix. It also borders the back and top of the concha. The helix and antihelix are composed of cartilage. The outer ear is composed of a single piece of cartilage, with the exception of the lobule.
Research Helix
The inferior nasal conchae (or turbinates) are the lower pair of curved ledges on the walls of the nasal cavity. Though the upper two pairs are protrusions of the ethmoid bone, this lower pair is attached directly to the maxilla.
Research Inferior Nasal Concha
The palatine bones consist of a vertical part and a horizontal plate and make up part of the orbital floor, the nasal cavity, and the back part of the palate. The two palatine bones are joined at the palate at the median palatine suture. Each bone is pierced by one greater palatine foramen and two lesser palatine foramina. Each palatine bone is also articulated with the vomer, and the conjunction of these bones forms the posterior nasal spine. The vertical portions of each palatine bone articulate with the inferior nasal concha and the ethmoid bone. The horizontal plates of the palatine bones also join the two palatine processes of the maxilla bones, at the transverse palatine suture.
Research Palatine Bones
In architecture, a concha is a plain semi-dome of an apse; sometimes the term is used to describe the entire apse.
