A: Anterior to the nasolacrimal duct → angular artery* pic1 pic2

B: Distal to the vestibule → respiratory region/nasal airway proper pic

C: Inferior to the hiatus semilunaris → uncinate process pic

D: Posterior to the middle concha → sphenoid sinus pic

E: Proximal to the fusion of the hard and soft palate → horizontal plate (of palatine bone) pic

F: Superior to the superior concha → sphenoethmoidal recess pic

*I was really conflicted on what this could be referring to. Ultimately, I thought angular artery aligned the best with being anterior to the nasolacrimal duct, but I'm not 100% sure.

other things I considered: maxillary bone, inferior concha
