Sinuses
The sinuses lighten the weight of the skull and act as resonance chambers for sound production. They also help to humidify and warm the air we breathe in before it reaches the lungs.
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.
Yes, that is correct. The paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities within the bones of the skull, which help to reduce the weight of the skull and provide resonance for sound during speech.

A chamber within a bone normally filled with air is called a sinus. Sinuses are cavities that help reduce the weight of the skull, assist in voice resonance, and provide a buffer against facial trauma. They are lined with mucous membranes that help filter and humidify the air we breathe. The most well-known sinuses are the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses.
The related article from Ear, Nose, & Throat Associates of Corpus Christi really explains it well. According to them and the Sinus Wars site:They lighten the weight of the skull and this is the reason why your head feels heavy and you feel tired and sleepy during a sinus attack.They give resonance to your voice.They also filter and moisten the air that we breathe.They also remove unwanted air particles.
The bony chamber that protects and supports the brain is called the skull. It is made up of several bones that encase and safeguard the brain from injury. The skull also provides structure and support for the face and attachment points for muscles.
your brain makes up the bones in your skull.
Paranasal sinuses serve as resonant chambers and help reduce the weight of the skull by providing air-filled cavities that decrease the overall density of the skull structure.
The skull is made lighter by its structure, which includes a network of air-filled spaces known as sinuses. These sinuses reduce overall weight while maintaining strength. Additionally, the bones of the skull are relatively thin and are designed to protect the brain without adding excessive mass, contributing to a lighter overall structure in the body.
