The temporal bone contains the middle ear cavity, which is not a paranasal sinus.
The sphenoid sinus surrounds the pituitary gland. It is located in the sphenoid bone at the base of the skull and is the closest paranasal sinus to the pituitary gland.
The frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone, and maxillary bone contain paranasal sinuses. These sinuses are air-filled cavities within these bones that help to lighten the skull and produce mucus that helps humidify and filter the air we breathe.
Sinuses are air-filled cavities located throughout the skull, including the forehead (frontal sinus), between the eyes (ethmoid sinus), cheekbones (maxillary sinus), and behind the nose (sphenoid sinus).
No, the frontal bone does not contain a sinus. The frontal sinus is located behind the frontal bone, in the frontal part of the skull.
The temporal bone contains the middle ear cavity, which is not a paranasal sinus.
The sphenoid sinus surrounds the pituitary gland. It is located in the sphenoid bone at the base of the skull and is the closest paranasal sinus to the pituitary gland.
It is in the bone while the sinus infection is only in the tissues. Being in the bone it has more potential to spread and it causes more damage.
The bones that contain the paranasal sinuses are the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones. They are easy to remember in relation to the sinuses because each sinus has the same name as the bone it is in.

nasal
Yes, the frontal sinus is a small cavity located within the frontal bone of the skull, just above the eyes. It is part of the paranasal sinuses which help to lighten the skull and produce mucus that moistens the nasal passages.
The smallest facial bone is known as the lacrimal bone.
