sinus or Sinusitis

what is Sinus ?

The sinuses are four pairs of hollow spaces in the bones of the face lined with mucous membranes and connected to the nose. The sinuses allow air to flow freely within the spaces in and out of the nose. Small hairs in the sinuses (cilia) regularly help move mucous out through the nose. When the small openings from the nose to the sinus cavities (sinus ostia) are blocked, or when too much mucous is produced, inflammation can occur within sinus cavities and cause sinus symptoms and acute sinusitis.

  • Hi Health Inform ion Blog,
    I was searching through Blogger to see if I can find some information on Health Fitness. I stumbled on your blog, as this was not quite what I was looking for about Health Fitness. I did however read your blog and found it quite interesting, keep up the good work and hopefully I will visit it again.
    Regards,
