The mucociliary flow in the frontal sinus of dogs is in a spiral pattern from medial to lateral. The final evacuation of mucus is through the ostium positioned anteriorly. Mucus flow rate is most rapid in the areas of the ostium and slowest in the area of the intersinus septum. Mucus flow patterns remain the same despite removing the intersinus septum and blocking one frontal sinus ostium. Mucociliary flow rate, however, appears to be diminished in the reoperated frontal sinus. Mucus does not appear to migrate readily across the intersinus septal areas when the septum has been removed and one nasofrontal duct is obstructed.
狗额窦内的黏液纤毛流动呈从内侧到外侧的螺旋模式。黏液的最终排出是通过位于前方的窦口。黏液流速在窦口区域最快，在鼻窦间隔区域最慢。尽管切除了鼻窦间隔并阻塞了一个额窦口，但黏液流动模式保持不变。然而，再次手术的额窦中黏液纤毛流速似乎有所降低。当鼻窦间隔被切除且一个鼻额管受阻时，黏液似乎不容易穿过鼻窦间隔区域。
