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:
“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)
“Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
