Nasal sinuses are air-filled cavities within the bones of the face and skull that are connected to the nasal cavity. They help to humidify and filter the air we breathe, as well as lighten the weight of the skull. The main sinuses include the frontal sinuses, ethmoid sinuses, sphenoid sinuses, and maxillary sinuses.
The sinuses in the spleen contain blood. These sinuses are specialized spaces where blood flows and immune cells can interact with pathogens or antigens.
No it doesn't. The paranasal sinuses are the: Maxillary Sphenoid Ethmoid and Frontal
Nasal cavity.
The maxillary sinuses drain into the middle meatus of the nasal cavity through the semilunar hiatus.
Sinuses are air filled cavities that surround the nasal cavity. They clean the air that is breathed in by the nose.

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.
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.
The superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, and right and left transverse sinuses meet in a structure known as the confluence of the sinuses
Pansinusitis is the medical term meaning inflammation of all the sinuses.
No, sinuses do not drain into the ears. Sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull that produce mucus to help moisten and filter the air we breathe. The ears have their own drainage system separate from the sinuses.
