Q
what are sinuses?
A
mucus membrane lined cavities in bone filled with air 
24
Q
what purpose do sinuses provide for the skull?
A
they lighten the skull and act to amplify, sounds, as we speak 
25
why are sinuses so susceptible to infection? 
infections migrate in these areas, since the mucosa lining is continuous with nasal passages and throat

39
in describing abnormal curvatures, it could be said that 1 is and exaggerated thoracic curvature, and in 2, the vertebral column is displaced laterally. Intervertebral discs are made of 3 tissue. The discs provide 4 to the spinal column.
1) kyphosis
2) scoliosis
3) fibrocartilage
4) flexibility, cushioning, shock absorption, elasticity

59
the organs protected by the thoracic cage include the (1) and the (2). Ribs 1 through 7 are called (3) ribs, whereas ribs 8 through 12 are called (4) ribs. Ribs 11 and 12 are also called (5) ribs. All ribs articulate posteriorly with the (6), and most connect anteriorly to the (7) either directly or indirectly. The general shape of the thoracic cage is (8).
1) heart
2) lungs
