The terms "frontal," "maxillary," and "sphenoidal" refer to the three pairs of paranasal sinuses located in the skull. The frontal sinuses are located in the forehead region, the maxillary sinuses are situated in the cheekbones, and the sphenoidal sinuses are found behind the nose, deep within the skull. These sinuses are air-filled spaces that help reduce the weight of the skull, enhance voice resonance, and provide insulation for the structures around them. They also play a role in mucous production and drainage within the nasal cavity.
