What seven bones compose the orbits?	Frontal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Maxilla, Zygoma, Lacrimal, Palatine
Paranasal Sinuses	air-filled cavities located in the frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones of the cranium, as well as the maxillae of the face
Maxillary sinuses are formed at:	Birth
Frontal and Sphenoid sinuses are formed at:	6-7 years old
Ethmoid sinuses are formed at:	17-18 years old
Which sinuses are the largest?	Maxillary
5 Functions of Sinuses	1. resonating chamber for the voice 2. decrease weight of skull 3. aid in warming/moisturizing inhaled air 4. act as shock absorbers in trauma 5. possibly control immune system

Where are the ethmoid sinuses located?	Within the labyrinths of the ethmoid bone
