English term

sinuses

English to Italian Medical Medical (general) anatomia
Care colleghe e colleghi,
nel brano che riporto di seguito, tratto da una guida alla meditazione, viene usato il termine "sinuses". Il mio dubbio è: si tratterà di “seni nasali” o “seni paranasali” (magari sono la stessa cosa?!!).
Si tratta di un testo molto divulgativo e dunque, se entrambi i termini fossero corretti, forse propenderei per quello meno “tecnico” (seni nasali)
Grazie per l’aiuto e auguri per un anno sereno!
***************************

Ecco il brano:

Now moving to the respiratory system, beginning behind the cheekbones with the sensations of the *** sinuses ***... then to the nose... and to the mouth... and then down the front of the throat to the trachea, the tube that brings life-giving air down into the center of the lungs, in the interior of the chest... the lungs on both sides expanding and contracting...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

seni nasali

Ciao Haribert, e buon Anno.

Concordo in pieno sulla tua considerazione. Dato il testo divulgativo, è da preferire questo equivalente meno tecnico di "seni paranasali".

Molte corrispondenze, del resto, per "seni nasali":
