The air pocket in the skull has a lining of mucus-producing tissues. These tissues also contain tiny hairs called ''cilia'', whose job is to propel the mucus out of the sinuses, through small holes called ''ostia'', into the nose and throat.

However, when a sinus or the nose becomes inflamed, it produces the condition called [[rhinosinusitis]].
