maxillary sinus
A maxillary sinus is one of the four pairs of paranasal sinuses that are situated in the maxillary bones, underneath the cheekbones and either side of the nose. These air-filled spaces produce mucus, assist with voice resonance, reduce the weight of the skull, and help warm and humidify inhaled air. These sinuses can often become blocked or infected, leading to a common condition known as sinusitis.
