Uncinate process of ethmoid bone
 | This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. |
An uncinate process is a hook shaped process on the lateral borders of the superior surface of the bodies of C3-C6 (T1). This process prevents posterior linear movement (translation) of the vertebral bodies and limits lateral flexion.
It also refers to a portion of the Ethmoid bone.
