| SpS | sphenoid sinus |
| body of sphenoid bone | The central portion of the sphenoid bone from which the greater and lesser wings and the pterygoid processes arise. The sphenoidal sinuses lie within it. Synonym: corpus ossis sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vaginal process of sphenoid bone | A thin lamina of bone that extends medially under the body of the sphenoid bone from the medial lamina of the pterygoid process; it articulates with the vomer and the palatine bone. Synonym: processus vaginalis ossis sphenoidalis, sheath process of sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal border of sphenoid bone | The margin of the greater wing of the sphenoid that articulates with the parietal bone. Synonym: margo parietalis ossis sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater wing of sphenoid bone | Strong squamous processes extending in a broad superolateral curve from the body of the sphenoid bone. The greater wing presents these suraces (facies): 1) cerebral surface: forms anterior third of the floor of the lateral portions of the middle cranial fossa; 2) temporal surface: forms the deepest portion of the temporal fossa; 3) infratemporal surface, forms the "roof" of the infratemporal fossa; 4) orbital surface: forms posterolateral wall of orbit. The greater wing forms the inferior border of the supraorbital fissure, and is perforated at its root by foramina rotundum ovale, and spinosum and the pterygoid canal. Synonym: ala major ossis sphenoidalis, ala temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rostrum of the sphenoid bone | The anterior projecting part of the body of the sphenoid bone which articulates with the vomer. Synonym: rostrum sphenoidale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hamular process of sphenoid bone | The inferior, hook-shaped extremity of the medial plate of the pterygoid process. Synonym: hamulus pterygoideus, hamular process of sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scaphoid fossa of sphenoid bone | A boat-shaped hollow. A longitudinal hollow on the posterior surface of the superior portion (root) of the medial pterygoid plate; it gives origin to the tensor veli palati muscle. Synonym: fossa scaphoidea ossis sphenoidalis, Cruveilhier's fossa, fossa navicularis Cruveilhier, scaphoid fossa of sphenoid bone. Synonym: scapha. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pterygoid ridge of sphenoid bone | A rough ridge marking the angle of union of the temporal and infratemporal surfaces of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. Synonym: crista infratemporalis, pterygoid ridge of sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sheath process of sphenoid bone | A thin lamina of bone that extends medially under the body of the sphenoid bone from the medial lamina of the pterygoid process; it articulates with the vomer and the palatine bone. Synonym: processus vaginalis ossis sphenoidalis, sheath process of sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid | 1. Wedge-shaped; as, a sphenoid crystal. 2. <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the sphenoid bone. <anatomy> Sphenoid bone, an irregularly shaped bone in front of the occipital in the base of the skull of the higher vertebrates. It is composed of several foetal bones which become united the adult. See Alisphenoid, Basisphenoid, Orbitosphenoid, Presphenoid. Origin: Gr.; a wedge + form: cf. F. Sphenoide. 1. <chemistry> A wedge-shaped crystal bounded by four equal isosceles triangles. It is the hemihedral form of a square pyramid. 2. <anatomy> The sphenoid bone.

| sphenoid bone | A bone of most irregular shape occupying the base of the skull; it is described as consisting of a central portion, or body, and six processes: two greater wings, two lesser wings and two pterygoid processes; it articulates with the occipital, frontal, ethmoid, and vomer, and with the paired temporal, parietal, zygomatic, palatine and sphenoidal concha bones. Synonym: os sphenoidale, sphenoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid crest | A vertical ridge in the midline of the anterior surface of the sphenoid bone that articulates with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone. Synonym: crista sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid process | The posterior and smaller of the two processes at the extremity of the vertical plate of the palatine bone; processus sphenoidalis cartilaginis septi nasi, processus posterior cartilaginis septi nasi. Synonym: processus sphenoidalis, sphenoid process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid process of palatine bone | The posterior and smaller of the two processes at the extremity of the vertical plate of the palatine bone; processus sphenoidalis cartilaginis septi nasi, processus posterior cartilaginis septi nasi. Synonym: processus sphenoidalis, sphenoid process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid process of septal cartilage | The tapering extension of the septal cartilage that lies between the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and the vomer. Synonym: processus posterior cartilaginis septi nasi, processus sphenoidalis cartilaginis septi nasi, sphenoid process of septal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
