The aim of our study was to establish the structural organization of the glands of the mucous membrane of the septum and the anterior wall of the frontal sinus (FS) in a normal person. The material for the study was the mucous membrane of human FS. Cadaveric material from people of both genders aged 28 to 73 years (43 corpses: 27 male/16 female), who died from causes not related to the pathology of the paranasal sinuses, was studied in accordance with the international standards for biological research. Complex branched alveolar-tubular glands, which were mixed on the anterior wall and protein-mucous on the septum and consisted of a system of excretory ducts with acini, were found in the mucous membrane of the FS of the anterior wall and septum. The acini of the glands of the mucous membranes of the anterior wall are formed by cylindrical cells, and the septum are formed by cuboids. We did not find any significant differences between the walls in terms of such a parameter as the outer diameter of the acini. In the mucous membrane of the FS of the anterior wall and septum we detected the complex branched alveolar-tubular glands, which were mixed on the anterior wall and protein and mucous on the septum and consisted of a system of excretory ducts with acini. The acini of the glands of the mucous membranes of the anterior wall were formed by the cylindrical cells, and the septum was formed by the cuboidal cells. Morphometric study of the average thickness of the submucous layer of the mucous membrane of human FS has established quite pronounced differences in the thickness of the submucous layer on the anterior wall and septum. The thickness of the submucous layer on the anterior wall of the FS (302.34±12.98 µm (p<0.05)) was by 58% significantly greater compared to the the thickness on the FS septum (127.17±8.48 µm (p<0.05)).
