| anal sinuses | The grooves between the anal columns. Synonym: Morgagni's sinus. Pockets or crypts in the columnar zone of the anal canal between the anocutaneous line and the anorectal line; the sinuses give the mucosa a scalloped appearance. Synonym: sinus anales, anal crypts, Morgagni's crypts, rectal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior sinuses | The anterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales anteriores, anterior cells, anterior sinuses, cellulae anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |

| paranasal sinuses | Air-filled extensions of the respiratory part of the nasal cavity into the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary cranial bones. They vary in size and form in different individuals and are lined by the ciliated mucous membranes of the nasal cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parasinoidal sinuses | Lateral expansions of the superior sagittal sinus of the dura mater, often increasing in width with advancing age until, in the very old, they may extend two centimeters lateral to the midline; the endothelium-lined lumen of the lacunae are usually reduced to a spongelike labyrinth by numerous arachnoid granulations and dural trabeculae. Synonym: lacunae laterales, lateral lacunae, lateral lakes, parasinoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectal sinuses | The grooves between the anal columns. Synonym: Morgagni's sinus. Pockets or crypts in the columnar zone of the anal canal between the anocutaneous line and the anorectal line; the sinuses give the mucosa a scalloped appearance. Synonym: sinus anales, anal crypts, Morgagni's crypts, rectal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid sinuses | Numerous small intercommunicating cavities in the mastoid process of the temporal bone that empty into the mastoid or tympanic antrum. Synonym: cellulae mastoideae, mastoid cells, mastoid sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral sinuses | Endothelium-lined venous channels in the dura mater. Synonym: sinus durae matris, cerebral sinuses, cranial sinuses, sinuses of dura mater, venous sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rokitansky-aschoff sinuses | <radiology> Small outpouchings of gallbladder mucosa that extend through the muscularis layer, may be congenital, associated with adenomyomatosis of gallbladder (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle ethmoidal sinuses | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
