sphenoid bone

The sphenoid bone is one of the seven bones that articulate to form the orbit.

In man it becomes the pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone.

The Sphenoid bone, underlying the forward portion of the brain

It is formed by the sphenoid bone and maxilla.

Not to be confused with the pterygoid fossa of the sphenoid bone.

The pituitary gland lies just above the sphenoid bone.

Sphenoidal fissure: separates the wings and the body of the sphenoid bone.

The Sphenomandibularis is a muscle attaching to the sphenoid bone and the mandible.

Some of the fibers also pass through the fissure to the spine of sphenoid bone.

The Sphenoidal lingula, a part of the sphenoid bone

The hypophyseal fossa is located in a depression in the body of the sphenoid bone.

Examples include the ethmoid and sphenoid bones.

As you cut lower in the cranium, you'll begin to see parts of the sphenoid bone appearing, at the base of the brain.

One difficulty was the scarcity of sphenoid bones, which are fragile and often are not preserved in skull fossils.

Wing of sphenoid bone or ala ossis sphenoidalis can refer to:

It is located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone at the base of the skull.

Civinini's process: The pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone or processus pterygospinosus.

M1: The sphenoidal segment, so named due to its origin and loose lateral tracking of the sphenoid bone.

The crotaphion refers to two points on the skull at the tips of the greater wing of sphenoid bone.

Greater wing of sphenoid bone (ala major ossis sphenoidalis)

In mammals, the side opening is closed by the sphenoid bone, so that the skull roof appear whole, despite the temporal opening.

Pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone

The thicker sphenoid bone posteriorly usually prevents continuation of the fracture into the optic canal.

The bone beneath is the temporal bone as well as part of the sphenoid bone.

The sphenoid bone of humans is homologous with a number of bones that are often separate in other animals, and have a somewhat complex arrangement.
