Body was changed:

The ethmoidal sinuses (or ethmoidal air cells) are one of the four paranasal sinuses. They are located within the ethmoid bone. They are present at birth and they develop rapidly from 0-to-4 year-old; they further mature from 8-to-12 year-old during puberty.

Some of the ethmoidal air cells have their own name, because of their importance in surgical procedures or their involvement in head and neck pathologies:
