Coronal Section - head/sinuses
This coronal section cuts through the anterior region of the face.
The frontal and maxillary air sinuses are readily seen within
the bones of the cranium. Note the location of the frontal lobe
of the brain with respect to the surrounding frontal air sinues.
The nasal turbinates lie in the midline of the face. Beneath the
nasal region, the tongue resides within the mouth. Note the shape
of the tongue, particularly the teardrop shaped area which connects it
to the inside of the jaw (mandible).
