Frontal sinus

Sinus frontalis · Čelní dutina

Respiratory system

Looks like

An air-filled space inside the frontal bone above each eyebrow, often unequal on each side.

What it does

Lightens the skull and drains into the nose.

Keeping it well

Sinusitis usually settles in 10 days; swelling of the forehead or eyelid with fever needs urgent care as infection can spread inward.
