| ala temporalis | Strong squamous processes extending in a broad superolateral curve from the body of the sphenoid bone. The greater wing presents these suraces (facies): 1) cerebral surface: forms anterior third of the floor of the lateral portions of the middle cranial fossa; 2) temporal surface: forms the deepest portion of the temporal fossa; 3) infratemporal surface, forms the "roof" of the infratemporal fossa; 4) orbital surface: forms posterolateral wall of orbit. The greater wing forms the inferior border of the supraorbital fissure, and is perforated at its root by foramina rotundum ovale, and spinosum and the pterygoid canal. Synonym: ala major ossis sphenoidalis, ala temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arteriola temporalis retinae superior | The branch of the central artery of the retina that passes laterally above the macula to supply the upper lateral or temporal part of the retina. Synonym: arteriola temporalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena temporalis media | <anatomy, vein> It arises near the lateral angle of the eye and joins the superficial temporal veins to form the retromandibular vein. Synonym: vena temporalis media. (05 Mar 2000) |
