Study Notes

Paranasal Sinuses in Dogs

The frontal sinus in dogs consists of three distinct parts: lateral, medial, and rostral.
Each part of the frontal sinus has a separate connection to the nasal cavity.
These sinuses develop as an extension of the nasal mucosal lining, penetrating between the outer and inner layers of the skull bone, creating a hollow space.
Connection to the nasal cavity remains after development, serving as a drainage path for mucus and pus.
The inner lining of the sinuses is respiratory epithelium containing goblet cells, which produce mucus.
Their purpose is to increase the area for muscle attachment and tooth development without increasing the weight of the skull bone.
