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:
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
