pterygoid

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

They also have a deep notch in the pterygoid bone of the palate.

In many animals it is a separate bone called the pterygoid bone.

They also have a pterygoid bone that articulates with the palatine by means of a joint.

This nerve travels through the pterygoid canal to the pterygopalatine ganglion.

In this case; the artery passes backward along the pterygoid canal with the corresponding nerve.

Pterygoid processes of the sphenoides which project from it posteriorly (below)

The affected muscles include the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles.

The pterygoid wings extend down from the bottom of the skull as two large triangular pieces of bone.

The pterygoid fossae do not connect to the orbit, setting them apart from the hystricognathous rodents.

Watson also found the short suture between the exoccipital and pterygoid bones to be characteristic of the genus.

To qualify for LeFort Fractures the pterygoid plates must be involved.

The pterygoid plate is absent.

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

It is situated at the back part of the nasal cavity between the maxilla and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid.

On the palate, the pterygoid bone is connected to the vomer by a projection called the palatal ramus.

Pterygoid muscles can refer to:

Trismus secondary to pterygoid muscle involvement.

This structure reaches its greatest elaboration among eusuchians, in which the internal nares are completely surrounded by the pterygoid bones.

Lateral teeth tricuspid, pterygoid teeth present.

Kourerpeton also lacks the pterygoid incisure of Slaugenhopia, which is characteristic of other tupilakosaurids as well.

He also noted that Procyclotosaurus has a crista obliqua, or oblique ridge, on the pterygoid bone at the back of the skull.

The pterygoid processes of the sphenoid, one on either side, descend perpendicularly from the regions where the body and great wings (alisphenoid) unite.

Unlike Slaugenhopia, Kourerpeton lacks an incisure, or notch, on the pterygoid bone of the palate.

Other characteristics include frontal bones that do not touch the rims of the eye sockets and ridges on the pterygoid bones.
