Q

how come the maxillary sinus is most susceptive to infection

A

becuase the ostia where fluid can drain are located at the top so has to fill up to drain

37
Q

Describe blood supply to anterior and posterior ethmoidal sinuses

A

branches of ophthalmic
course through ethmoidal air cells to enter roof nasal cavity
lateral nasal and septal branches also

38
