| sinus tonsillaris | The depression between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches occupied by the palatine tonsil. Synonym: fossa tonsillaris, amygdaloid fossa, sinus tonsillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus transversus | A paired dural venous sinus that drains the confluence of sinuses, running along the occipital attachment of the tentorium cerebelli and terminating in the sigmoid sinus. Synonym: sinus transversus, lateral sinus. Transverse pericardial sinus, a passage in the pericardial sac between the origins of the great vessels, i.e., posterior to the intrapericardial portions of the pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta and anterior to the superior vena cava and superior to the atria; it is formed as a result of the flexure of the heart tube, partially approximating the great venous and arterial vessels. Synonym: sinus transversus pericardii, Theile's canal, transverse sinus of pericardium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus transversus pericardii | transverse pericardial sinus |
| sinus trunci pulmonalis | The space at the origin of the pulmonary trunk between the dilated wall of the vessel and each cusp of the pulmonic valve. Synonym: sinus trunci pulmonalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus tubercle | A median protuberance projecting into the embryonic urogenital sinus from its dorsal wall; it is formed from the fused caudal ends of the paramesonephric ducts and is the first evidence of the embryonic uterus and vagina. Synonym: sinus tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus tympani | A depression in the tympanic cavity posterior to the tympanic promontory. Synonym: sinus tympani. Sinus unguis, the deep cleft housing the root of the nail. Synonym: sinus of nail. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus urogenitalis | A condition in which the urorectal fold has failed to divide the cloaca of the embryo into rectal and urogenital portions. Synonym: sinus urogenitalis, urogenital sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus venarum cavarum | The portion of the cavity of the right atrium of the heart that receives the blood from the venae cavae; it is separated from the rest of the atrium by the crista terminalis. Synonym: sinus venarum cavarum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus vertebrales longitudinales | longitudinal vertebral venous sinus |
| sphenoidal sinus | One of a pair of paranasal sinuses in the body of the sphenoid bone communicating with the upper posterior nasal cavity or spenoethmoidal recess. Synonym: sinus sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoidal sinus aperture | One of the pair of openings in the body of the sphenoid bone through which the sphenoid sinuses communicate with the sphenoethmoidal recess of the nasal cavity. Synonym: apertura sinus sphenoidalis, sphenoidal sinus aperture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid sinus | One of the paired paranasal sinuses, located in the body of the sphenoid bone and communicating with the highest meatus of the nasal cavity on the same side. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sphenoparietal sinus | A paired dural venous sinus beginning on the parietal bone, running along the sphenoidal ridges and emptying into the cavernous sinus. Synonym: sinus sphenoparietalis, Breschet's sinus, sinus alae parvae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic sinus | An elongated venous channel, 12 to 40 um wide, lined by rod-shaped cells. Synonym: sinus lienis. Straight sinus, an unpaired dural venous sinus in the posterior part of the falx cerebri where it is attached to the tentorium cerebelli; it is formed anteriorly by the merging of the great cerebral vein with the inferior sagittal sinus, and passes horizontally and posteriorly to the confluence of sinuses. Synonym: sinus rectus, tentorial sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
