Three Groups
The groups of the ethmoidal air cells:
- The posterior group (sometimes the posterior ethmoid sinus) drains into the superior meatus above the middle nasal concha; sometimes one or more opens into the sphenoidal sinus.
- The middle group (sometimes the middle ethmoid sinus) drains into the middle meatus of the nose on or above the bulla ethmoidalis.
- The anterior group (sometimes the anterior ethmoid sinus) drains into the middle meatus of the nose by way of the infundibulum.

Famous quotes containing the word groups:
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
