| ethmoid |
Gr. ethmos = a sieve, and eidos = resemblance. A term describing the structure of the ethmoid bone of the skull, the most anterior of the four principal braincase regions. It is associated with the nasal capsules and chemosensation. Frequently it fuses with the sphenoid region and is referred to as the sphenethmoid. In mammals, the ethmoid is reduced to a series of turbinals: very thin bones in the nasal passage that help recover respiratory water vapor.
