A

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cillia and goblet cells

19
Q

What are the paranasal sinuses

A

Air filled cavities in the frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid bones as well as maxillae.

20
Q

Functions of paranasal sinus

A

Resonating chamber for the voice
Decrease weight of the skull
Aid in warming and moisturizing air
Act as shock absorber
Possible control the immune system

21
Q

The development of the sinuses begin

22
Q

Only sinus developed to show radiographing at birth

23
Q

When does the maxillary sinus fully develop?

24
Q

When does the frontal and sphenoid become dostimguishable from ethmoids?

A

By age 6 to 7

25
When are ethmoids fully developed
Age 17 to 18
26
Properties of maxillary sinus
It is the largest Most symmetric Vary in size and shape Pyramidal I’m shape Drains in middle meatus
27
Properties of the frontal sinus
Second largest Vary in size and shape Rarely symmetric occasionally absent Drains into middle meatus
28
Where is the frontal sinus located
Between the vertical plates of the frontal bone
29
Sphenoid sinus characteristics
Normally paired with speta Usually asymmetric Vary in size and shape Drains anteriorly into spheno- ethmoidal recess
30
Location of spenoid sinus
Located below sells turnica and extend between dorsum and posterior ethmoids
31
Location of ethmoidal sinus
Within upper lateral wall of nasal cavity
32
Three main groups of air sacs in ethmoidal sinus
Anterior (2 - 8) hiatus semilunars (middle meatus) Posterior (2-6) superior meatus Middle (2-8) ethomoidal bulla (middle meatus)
