| 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) |

| nerve to carotid sinus | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve that innervates the baroreceptors in the wall of the carotid sinus and the chemoreceptors in the carotid body. Synonym: ramus sinus carotici, carotid sinus branch, Hering's sinus nerve, intercarotid nerve, nerve to carotid sinus, sinus nerve of Hering. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonphasic sinus arrhythmia | Sinus arrhythmia in which variations in rhythm are not related to the phases of respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for transverse sinus | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus sinus petrosi inferioris | A groove lodging the inferior petrosal sinus, formed by union of similarly named grooves in the petrous part of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi inferioris, inferior petrosal groove, inferior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus sinus petrosi superioris | A groove on the crest of the petrous portion of the temporal bone in which rests the superior petrosal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi superioris, superior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus sinus sagittalis superioris | The groove in the midline of the inner table of the calvaria lodging the superior sagittal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus sagittalis superioris, sagittal groove, sagittal sulcus, superior longitudinal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus sinus sigmoidei | A broad groove in the posterior cranial fossa, first situated on the lateral portion of the occipital bone, then curving around the jugular process on to the mastoid portion of the temporal bone, and finally turning sharply on the posterior inferior angle of the parietal bone and becoming continuous with the transverse groove; it lodges the transverse sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus sigmoidei, sigmoid fossa, sigmoid groove, sigmoid sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus sinus transversi | The groove on the inner surface of the occipital bone marking the course of the transverse sinus; the tentorium is attached to its margins. Synonym: sulcus sinus transversi, sulcus for transverse sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior longitudinal sinus | An unpaired dural venous sinus in the sagittal groove, beginning at the foramen caecum and terminating at the confluence of sinuses where it merges with the straight sinus; receives the superior cerebral veins and has lateral extensions, the lateral venous lacunae. Synonym: sinus sagittalis superior, superior longitudinal sinus. Tarsal sinus, a hollow or canal formed by the groove of the talus and the interosseous groove of the calcaneus which is occupied by the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament. Synonym: sinus tarsi, tarsal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior petrosal sinus | A paired dural venous sinus in the groove along the crest of the petrous temporal bone, connecting the cavernous sinus with the termination of the transverse sinus or beginning of the sigmoid sinus. Synonym: sinus petrosus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior sagittal sinus | An unpaired dural venous sinus in the sagittal groove, beginning at the foramen caecum and terminating at the confluence of sinuses where it merges with the straight sinus; receives the superior cerebral veins and has lateral extensions, the lateral venous lacunae. Synonym: sinus sagittalis superior, superior longitudinal sinus. Tarsal sinus, a hollow or canal formed by the groove of the talus and the interosseous groove of the calcaneus which is occupied by the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament. Synonym: sinus tarsi, tarsal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermal sinus | A sinus lined with epidermis and skin appendages extending from the skin to some deeper-lying structure, most frequently the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior longitudinal sinus | An unpaired dural venous sinus in the lower margin of the falx cerebri, running parallel to the superior sagittal sinus and merging with the great cerebral vein to form the the straight sinus. Synonym: sinus sagittalis inferior, inferior longitudinal sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior petrosal sinus | A paired dural venous sinus running in the groove on the petrooccipital fissure connecting the cavernous sinus with the superior bulb of the internal jugular vein. Synonym: sinus petrosus inferior, Englisch's sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
