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. There, the mucus gets swallowed. When this functions properly, the sinuses remain free and clear, allowing one to breathe effectively. However, when a sinus or the nose becomes inflamed, it produces the condition called [[rhinosinusitis]]. | The air pocket in the skull has a lining of mucus-producing tissues.
