A model for maxilloturbinate morphogenesis in seals.
The nasal cavities of mammals contain the maxilloturbinate bones, which are involved in reducing heat and water losses. The maxilloturbinates of Arctic seals develop into particularly elaborate labyrinthine patterns, which are well adapted to retain heat and moisture from exhaled gas. These structur...
