No one knows exactly what purpose the cranial venous sinuses serve in the skull. The para-nasal sinuses help to add humidity and warmth to the air that is breathed. They also lighten the weight of the skull.
Sinuses are air filled cavities that surround the nasal cavity. They clean the air that is breathed in by the nose.
its when air passes within the skull
The cranial cavity is the primary cavity of the skull; it contains the brain. In addition, the skull has four other pairs of cavities called sinuses. They are the frontal sinuses, maxillary sinuses, sphenoid sinuses, and ethmoid sinuses.

sinuses
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.

Yes, sinuses are air-filled cavities located within the bones of the skull. They are lined with mucous membranes and help to humidify and filter the air we breathe in.
