The paper presents current data on the physiology of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The results are presented of national and international research on computer modeling of airflow in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The issues of gas composition in paranasal sinuses are discussed, as well as the possible factors determining the change of nitric oxide concentration with NO chemical formula in these structures.
Key words: paranasal sinuses, nitric oxide, computer simulation.
