lüll The paranasal sinuses: the last frontier in craniofacial biology Marquez SAnat Rec (Hoboken) 2008[Nov]; 291 (11): 1350-61This special issue of the Anatomical Record explores the presence and diversity of paranasal sinuses in distinct vertebrate groups. The following topics are addressed in particular: dinosaur physiology; development; physiology; adaptation; imaging; and primate systematics. A variety of approaches and techniques are used to examine and characterize the diversity of paranasal sinus pneumatization in a wide spectrum of vertebrates. These range from dissection to histology, from plain X-rays to computer tomography, from comparative anatomy to natural experimental settings, from mathematical computation to computer model simulation, and 2D to 3D reconstructions. The articles in this issue are a combination of literature review and new, hypothesis-driven anatomical research that highlights the complexities of paranasal sinus growth and development; ontogenetic and disease processes; physiology; paleontology; primate systematics; and human evolution. The issue incorporates a wide variety of vertebrates, encompassing a period of over 65 million years, in an effort to offer insight into the diversity of the paranasal sinus complexes through time and space, and thereby providing a greater understanding and appreciation of these special spaces within the cranium.|Anatomy/history[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Biomechanical Phenomena[MESH]|Brain/*physiology[MESH]|Face[MESH]|Genetic Variation[MESH]|History, 15th Century[MESH]|History, 19th Century[MESH]|History, 20th Century[MESH]|Humans/anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Nasal Cavity/anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Paranasal Sinuses/*anatomy & histology/*physiology[MESH]|Primates/anatomy & histology[MESH]|Species Specificity[MESH]|Vertebrates/anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH] |
