| anterior ethmoidal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the nasociliary nerve; passes through anterior ethmoidal foramen on superomedial wall of orbit into cranial cavity, giving rise to anterior meningeal nerves, then passes through cribriform plates into nasal cavity, supplying anterosuperior nasal mucosa. Synonym: nervus ethmoidalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| middle ethmoidal air cells | 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) |
| 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) |
| posterior ethmoidal air cells | The posterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the superior meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales posteriores, cellulae posteriores, posterior cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior ethmoidal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, ophthalmic; distribution, posterior ethmoidal cells and upper posterior part of lateral wall of nasal cavity. Synonym: arteria ethmoidalis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior ethmoidal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the nasociliary nerve providing sensory innervation to the sphenoidal sinus and the posterior ethmoidal air cells. Synonym: nervus ethmoidalis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal | <anatomy> Like a sieve; cribriform. Pertaining to, or in the region of, the ethmoid bone. <anatomy> Ethmoid bone, a bone of complicated structure through which the olfactory nerves pass out of the cranium and over which they are largely distributed. Origin: Gr. Like a sieve; sieve + from: cf. F. Ethmoide, ethmoidal. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ethmoidal bulla | A bulging of the inner wall of the ethmoidal labyrinth in the middle meatus of the nose, just below the middle nasal concha; it is regarded as a rudimentary concha. Synonym: bulla ethmoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal cells | The numerous small air-filled cells of the ethmoidal labyrinth. See: anterior ethmoidal air cells, middle ethmoidal air cells, posterior ethmoidal air cells. Synonym: cellulae ethmoidales, sinus ethmoidales, ethmoidal cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal crest | Bony ridge which articulates with, or provides attachment for, any part of the ethmoid bone, especially the middle nasal concha. See: ethmoidal crest of maxilla, ethmoidal crest of palatine bone. Synonym: crista ethmoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal crest of maxilla | A ridge on the upper part of the nasal surface of the frontal process of the maxilla that gives attachment to the anterior portion of the middle nasal concha. Synonym: crista ethmoidalis maxillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal crest of palatine bone | A ridge on the medial surface of the perpendicular part of the palatine bone to which the middle nasal concha attaches posteriorly. Synonym: crista ethmoidalis ossis palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal foramen | Either of two foramina formed by grooves on either edge of the ethmoidal notch of the frontal bone, and completed by similar grooves on the ethmoid bone: anterior ethmoidal foramen, located in an anterior position; posterior ethmoidal foramen located in a posterior position. Synonym: foramen ethmoidale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal groove | A groove on the inner surface of each nasal bone, lodging the external nasal branch of the anterior ethmoid nerve. Synonym: sulcus ethmoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal infundibulum | A passage from the middle meatus of the nose communicating with the anterior ethmoidal cells and frontal sinus. Synonym: infundibulum ethmoidale, ethmoid infundibulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
