| sinus bradycardia | <cardiology, physiology> Bradycardia originating in the normal sinus pacemaker. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus caroticus | <anatomy> A slight dilation in the carotid artery at its bifurcation into the external and internal carotid arteries, it contains baroreceptors (pressure sensors) that when stimulated, will cause a reflex slowing of the heart, vasodilation and a fall in blood pressure.

| sinus coronarius | A short trunk receiving most of the cardiac veins, beginning at the junction of the great cardiac vein and the oblique vein of the left atrium, running in the posterior part of the coronary sulcus and emptying into the right atrium between the inferior vena cava and the atrioventricular orifice. Synonym: sinus coronarius. (05 Mar 2000) |

| sinus epididymidis | A narrow space between the body of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: sinus epididymidis. Ethmoidal sinuses, ethmoidal air-cells; evaginations of the mucous membrane of the middle and superior meatuses of the nasal cavity into the ethmoidal labyrinth forming multiple small paranasal sinuses; they are subdivided into anterior, middle and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. Synonym: antra ethmoidalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
