Since sinuses really serve no purpose, would it be possible to have mine filled in?
With silicone or something. I'm just tired of having sinus issues and I can't find any reason they need to exist.
Mr.E: Saw that article already. Just to reiterate, they serve no real purpose.
According to the American Rhinologic Society, this is what our sinuses do and possibly why we have them:
Why do we have sinuses? The precise purpose of the sinuses is unknown. A variety of theories have been proposed:
* The sinuses act as 'air-conditioners;' they filter and humidify the air.
* The sinuses lighten the weight of the skull.
* The sinuses are 'crumple zones.' In severe facial trauma, the facial skeleton is crushed; this absorbs energy that would otherwise be transmitted to the cranial cavity and brain. In a similar fashion, automobiles are designed so that the energy from a collision is absorbed by the car body, but the energy transmitted to the passenger cabin is minimized.
* The sinuses are resonance chambers (echo chambers tuned to a specific frequency), which change the characteristics of spoken voice.
