| petrosal fossula | A small and often only faintly marked depression on the inferior surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone, between the jugular fossa and the opening of the carotid canal; here opens the canaliculus tympanicus transmitting the tympanic nerve. Synonym: fossula petrosa, petrosal fossa, receptaculum ganglii petrosi. (05 Mar 2000) |

| greater petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater superficial petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for inferior petrosal sinus | A groove lodging the inferior petrosal sinus, formed by union of similarly named grooves in the petrous part of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi inferioris, inferior petrosal groove, inferior petrosal sulcus. (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) |
| groove of greater petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone that lodges the greater petrosal nerve. Synonym: sulcus nervi petrosi majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove of lesser petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone that accommodates the lesser petrosal nerve in its course to the otic ganglion. Synonym: sulcus nervi petrosi minoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| petrosal | <anatomy> Hard; stony; petrous; as, the petrosal bone; petrosal part of the temporal bone. Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the petrous, or petrosal, bone, or the corresponding part of the temporal bone. <anatomy> Petrosal bone, a bone corresponding to the petrous portion of the temporal bone of man; or one forming more or less of the periotic capsule. See: Petrous. <anatomy> A petrosal bone. The auditory capsule. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| petrosal bone | The part of the temporal bone that contains the structures of the inner ear and the second part of the internal carotid artery; in antenatal life it appears as a separate ossification centre. Synonym: pars petrosa ossis temporalis, periotic bone, petrosal bone, petrous pyramid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| petrosal branch of middle meningeal artery | <anatomy, artery> Petrous branch of middle meningeal artery; first intracranial branch of middle meningeal artery; anastomosis: stylomastoid artery via hiatus of facial canal. Synonym: ramus petrosus arteriae meningeae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| petrosal foramen | An occasional opening in the greater wing of the sphenoid bone, between the foramen spinosum and foramen ovale, which transmits the lesser petrosal nerve. Synonym: foramen petrosum, canaliculus innominatus, foramen of Arnold. (05 Mar 2000) |
