It lays in the horizontal plane and is attached to the lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
By projecting into the nasal cavity, the medial surface of the Inferior Nasal Concha assists in increasing the surface area within the cavity and thus increases the amount of mucus membrane and olfactory nerve endings exposed to inhaled odors.

You have learned a little about the nasal cavity before-- you learned about the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae the invade the nasal cavity from the sides, and you learned about the olfactory epithelium that lines this nasal cavity.
In the nasal cavity, the term "mucous membrane" is synonymous with "olfactory epithelium." But, as you progress farther into the respiratory system, the olfactory epithelium is no longer there (since we don't smell in our throats and lungs), and just a pseudostratified, ciliated mucous membrane is there.
During a sinus infection (sinusitis), the mucous membrane is extremely active in secreting mucus, and this mucus drains into the nasal cavity; that's why you tend to have a runny nose during a sinus infection.

The Inferior nasal conchae (also known as Turbinator bones) are among the facial bones of the head.
These three thin bones form the sides of the nasal cavities and are located in the centre of the face.
As these bones form the nasal cavities they hold open these important passages easing the flow of air into the nose for breathing, and the out-flow of de-oxygenated air (which is mostly carbon dioxide).
