A member asked:
How big is the ostia to the maxillary sinus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinhead: The osteomeatal unit is the size of a pinhead. The course mucus takes to clear this pathway is rather circuitous and is dependent upon healthy mucosa and the wave-like action of cilia to progress appropriately.
