What are sinuses?

The sinuses are the hollow, air filled spaces in the bones around the nose. There are four sinus cavities on each side-- frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid. The sinus cavities are lined with a mucous membrane that is covered with microscopic hairs that cleans the nose and sinuses. The nasal lining protects the body from dust, pollen, and germs, and also humidifies the air entering the nose. High exposure to environmental irritants (tobacco, chemicals, pollution) can impair the self-cleaning function of the nose and make people more prone to sinus infections.
