Description:
Sphenoid bone: posterior view. The sphenoid bone (os sphenoidale) is a central, unpaired bone with direct contact to almost all other skull bones. The sphenoid bone comprises the central part (corpus), the pairs of greater and lesser wings, and pterygoid processes. The dorsal aspect of the sphenoid demonstrates multiple openings and channels within the bone. The canalis opticus and fissura orbitalis superior connect the fossa cranii media with the orbit. Foramen rotundum and canalis pterygoides are the pathways to the fossa pterygopalatina. Version without labels.
