The structures of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of the bactrian camel were comparatively investigated using computed tomography (CT) and gross anatomy. The results showed that the bactrian camel owes large and complex concha, narrow nasal meatus and large sinuses in volume. These properties may relate to its living conditions of frequent sand-storms and aridity. This will offer the anatomical knowledge to the research of the adaptive physiological mechanism to its environment. The results and methods present useful references to the construction of nasal airflow model in the bactrian camel.
