Sinuses are lined by mucous membranes and the tiny, finger-like projections known as cilia. Their function is to warm, moisten, and filter the air that you breathe. The membrane when comes in contact with irritants then produce mucus. Then the cilia help to move out the mucus, along with any trapped irritants, out of your sinuses.
