circular sinus

sinus

[si´nus] 1. a recess, cavity, or channel, such as one in bone or a dilated channel for venous blood.2. an abnormal channel or fistula, permitting escape of pus.3. paranasal sinus.anal s's furrows, with pouchlike recesses at the distal end, separating the columns" >rectal columns; called also anal crypts.anterior s's (sinus anterio´res) the anterior air cells that together with the middle and posterior air cells form the ethmoidal sinus.aortic s's pouchlike dilatations at the root of the aorta, one opposite each semilunar cusp of the aortic valve, from which the coronary arteries originate.carotid sinus a dilatation of the proximal portion of the internal carotid or distal portion of the common carotid artery, containing in its wall pressoreceptors that are stimulated by changes in blood pressure. See also carotid sinus syndrome.cavernous sinus an irregularly shaped venous channel between the layers of dura mater of the brain, one on either side of the body of the sphenoid bone and communicating across the midline. Several cranial nerves course through this sinus.cerebral sinus one of the ventricles of the brain.cervical sinus a temporary depression in the neck of the embryo containing the branchial arches.circular sinus the venous channel encircling the pituitary gland, formed by the two cavernous sinuses and the anterior and posterior intercavernous sinuses.coccygeal sinus a sinus or fistula just over or close to the tip of the coccyx.coronary sinus the dilated terminal portion of the great cardiac vein, receiving blood from other veins draining the heart muscle and emptying into the right atrium.dermal sinus a congenital sinus tract extending from the surface of the body, between the bodies of two adjacent lumbar vertebrae, to the spinal canal.ethmoid s's (ethmoidal s's) ethmoid cells.frontal sinus one of the paired paranasal sinuses in the frontal bone, each communicating with the middle nasal meatus on the same side.intercavernous s's channels connecting the two cavernous sinuses, one passing anterior and the other posterior to the stalk of the pituitary gland.lymphatic s's irregular, tortuous spaces within lymphoid tissues through which lymph flows.maxillary sinus one of the paired paranasal sinuses in the body of the maxilla on either side, opening into the middle nasal meatus on the same side.occipital sinus a venous sinus between the layers of dura mater, passing upward along the midline of the cerebellum.paranasal s's the eight cavities in the skull that are connected with the nasal cavity (see also Plates). They are arranged in four pairs, each of which has one member on the left and one on the right. The pairs are the sinuses" >maxillary sinuses in the maxillae; the sinuses" >frontal sinuses in the frontal bone; the sinuses" >sphenoid sinuses in the sphenoid bone behind the nasal cavity; and the ethmoid cells (ethmoid sinuses) in the ethmoid bone behind and below the frontal sinuses. The functions of the sinuses are not certain. They are believed to help the nose in circulating, warming, and moistening the air as it is inhaled, thereby lessening the shock of cold, dry air to the lungs. They also are thought to have a minor role as resonating chambers for the voice.
