IV Paranasal sinuses
ОглавлениеParanasal sinuses of the equine are found within the frontal, maxillary, palatine and sphenoid bones as well as the dorsal and ventral conchae.
Paranasal sinuses are mucous‐membrane lined, air‐filled cavities within bones, which serve to decrease the weight of the skull. Connections exist between the middle nasal meatuses and the paranasal sinuses that allow for increased exposure of air to mucous membrane.
