Sinus ostium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Nasal passage)
A sinus ostium (plural: sinus ostia) is the opening that connects a sinus to the nasal cavity itself. It is a tight area that tends to have a higher percentage of cilia than the surrounding mucosa.
If the sinus ostium is blocked this will cause an accumulation of fluid in the sinus.
