What are two possible functions of the sinuses?

Answer 1

possible functions of the sinuses include:

1. air conditioning

2. pressure damping

3. reduction of skull weight

4. heat insulation

5. flotation of skull in water

6. increasing the olfactory area

7. mechanical rigidity

8. vocal resonance and diminution of auditory feedback

9 There are four pairs sinuses, the maxillary is largest, then frontal ,ethmoidal and sphenoidal is ( below eye sockets) is to provide mucous and act as a resonance chamber for sound +lighten weight of the skull.

10. mucous glands moisten the air ciculating between the conchae, if fluid does not drain , this causes sinuses headache.

Answer 3

The sinuses help to humidify and filter the air we breathe before it reaches the lungs. They also contribute to our voice resonance and help to lighten the skull bones.

Answer 4

they lighten the facial bones and act as resonance chambers for speech

Answer 5

They make the bones of the skull light weight and for resonance of the voice.

Answer 6

Resonance chambers for speech and lighten the facial bones.

Answer 7

They help to lighten the weight of the skull, strengthen the skull, conduct air for breathing, and act as a resonance chamber in speaking and singing.

Answer 8

Filtering of blood in spleen
