| sagittal crest | A prominent ridge along the sagittal suture of the skull, present in some animals as a result of temporal muscle development. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sagittal fontanel | An occasional fontanel-like defect in the sagittal suture in the newborn. Synonym: Gerdy's fontanel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sagittal groove | 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) |
| sagittal line | Any line parallel to the midline, indicating a sagittal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sagittal plane | <dentistry> The longitudinal vertical plane that divides the mouth into two halves (left and right.) (08 Jan 1998) |
| sagittal section | A cross section obtained by slicing, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body, or any anatomic structure in the sagittal plane, i.e., in a vertical plane parallels to the median plane. Since actual sectioning in the sagittal plane results in a right and a left portion, an anatomical sagittal section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface on the medial aspect of either portion. Synonym: parasagittal section. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sagittal split mandibular osteotomy | An intraoral surgical procedure for correction of retrognathism, apertognathia, and prognathism; the mandibular rami and posterior body are sectioned in the sagittal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sagittal sulcus | 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) |
| sagittal suture | Line of union between the two parietal bones. Synonym: sutura sagittalis, interparietal suture, sutura interparietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sagittal synostosis | <anatomy> A deformed condition of the skull, in which the vault is narrow, clongated, and more or less boat-shaped. Origin: Gr. A boat + head. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| left sagittal fissure | A sagittal groove on the undersurface of the liver formed by the fissura ligamenti teretis anteriorly and the fissura ligamenti venosi posteriorly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for superior petrosal sinus | 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) |
| sinus petrosus superior | 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) |
| sinus sagittalis superior | 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 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) |
