The biological role of the sinuses is debated, but a number of possible functions have been proposed:
The function of the pulmonary sinuses is to separate both of the semilunar cusps that are in the pulmonary trunk valve. They forma think wall between the two.
its when air passes within the skull
Normal function of the sinuses requires ventilation through the ostia (mouth-like opening) and is facilitated by a mucociliary transport process that maintains a constant flow of mucus out of the sinuses

dural sinuses, cerebral sinuses, or cranial sinuses
Paranasal sinuses are a group of four air-filled spaces. Maxillary sinuses surround the nasal cavity, frontal sinuses are above the eyes, ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes and sphenoid sinuses are behind the eyes.
The paranasal sinuses (which surround the nose) are found in the following bones: frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary. The maxillary sinuses are the largest of all sinuses. There are also sinuses found near the mastoid process of the temporal bone called the mastoid sinuses. The mastoid sinuses communicates with the inner ear, whereas the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity.
There are four pairs of sinuses in the human body: frontal sinuses (in the forehead), maxillary sinuses (cheekbones), ethmoid sinuses (between the eyes), and sphenoid sinuses (behind the nose).
The frontal sinuses housed in the frontal bone are the largest sinuses.The maxillary sinuses are the second largest.
The main sinuses in the human skull are the maxillary, frontal, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal sinuses. The maxillary sinuses are located in the cheeks, the frontal sinuses are in the forehead area, the ethmoidal sinuses are between the eyes, and the sphenoidal sinuses are located behind the nose. These air-filled cavities help to lighten the skull, provide resonance to the voice, and contribute to the respiratory system.
Sinuses
If you have a headache just about your eyes, it is very likely that it is your sinuses. Sinus pressure can be very painful.
