    Superior and Middle pairs are part of the ethmoid bone
  13. What conchae pair is considered as a seperate facial bone by itself?
    The Inferior Nasal Conchae
  14. What is the purpose for the the three (3) pairs of nasal conchaes?
    To break up or mix the flow of air coming into the nasal cavities before it reaches the lungs

  24. When do all paranasal sinuses generally fully develop?
    Late Teens
  25. What is the preferred method for imaging the paranasal sinuses?
    Erect, to show air-fluid levels
  26. Where are the Sphenoid Sinuses located?
    The Sphenoid Sinuses are behind the Ethmoid Sinuses(They are more POSTERIOR) and below the sella turcia
  27. What provides evidence of a basal skull fracture?
    Air fluid levels within the Sphenoid Sinuses (close to the base of the cranium)
  28. What is the rim of the orbit, which corresponds to the outer circular portion of the cone called?
    Base(Front of the eye)
  29. What is the posterior portion of the cone that corresponds to the optic foramen called?
