The maxillae contain the maxillary sinuses, the ethmoid and sphenoid contain the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, respectively.

****Maxilla is a facial bone, the three cranial bones that contain sinuses are ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal.

What is paranasal sinuses filled with?

Paranasal sinuses are filled with airTheir function is to-humidify and warm the inspired air,provide resonance to voice,lighten the skull bones, andact as thermal insulators to protect orbit and cranium from variation in temperature of air in our noseParanasal sinuses are air containing cavities (hollow spaces) in certain bones of skull. They are 4 on each side, they are- maxillary, frontal, sphenoid and anterrior and posterior ethmoidal sinuses.They are spaces within the bones, hence their walls are formed by bones, which are lined from inside by very thin mucous membrane (ciliated columnar epithilium with goblet cells) (goblet cells secrete mucus and the cilia move it out of the sinus into the nasal cavity)They all open into the nasal cavity.

What are the 4 purposes of the sinuses?

The precise purpose of the sinuses is unknown. A variety of theories have been proposed:The sinuses act as 'air-conditioners;' they filter and humidify the air.The sinuses lighten the weight of the skull.The sinuses are 'crumple zones.' In severe facial trauma, the facial skeleton is crushed; this absorbs energy that would otherwise be transmitted to the cranial cavity and brain. In a similar fashion, automobiles are designed so that the energy from a collision is absorbed by the car body, but the energy transmitted to the passenger cabin is minimized.The sinuses are resonance chambers (echo chambers tuned to a specific frequency), which change the characteristics of spoken voice.


What are two possible functions of the sinuses?

possible functions of the sinuses include: 1. air conditioning 2. pressure damping 3. reduction of skull weight 4. heat insulation 5. flotation of skull in water 6. increasing the olfactory area 7. mechanical rigidity 8. vocal resonance and diminution of auditory feedback 9 There are four pairs sinuses, the maxillary is largest, then frontal ,ethmoidal and sphenoidal is ( below eye sockets) is to provide mucous and act as a resonance chamber for sound +lighten weight of the skull. 10. mucous glands moisten the air ciculating between the conchae, if fluid does not drain , this causes sinuses headache.
