straight sinus

It drains (from the center of the brain) to the straight sinus (at the back of the head), which connects to the transverse sinuses.

It receives blood from the deep and medial aspects of the cerebral hemispheres and drains into the straight sinus.

The straight sinus (tentorial sinus) is situated where the falx cerebri meets the midline of tentorium cerebelli.

This comes from the inferior side of the posterior end of the corpus callosum and empties into the straight sinus located in the midline of the tentorium.

The confluence of sinuses or torcular herophili is the connecting point of the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, and occipital sinus.

The superior sagittal sinus often drains into (either exclusively or predominantly) one transverse sinus, and the straight sinus drains into the other.

This vein merges with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus which then joins the superficial venous system mentioned above at the confluence of sinuses.

To the middle line of its upper surface the posterior border of the falx cerebri is attached, the straight sinus being placed at their line of junction.

The straight sinus (also known as tentorial sinus), within the human head, is an unpaired area beneath the brain which allows blood to drain from the inferior center of the head outwards posteriorly.

The transverse sinuses are of large size and begin at the internal occipital protuberance; one, generally the right, being the direct continuation of the superior sagittal sinus, the other of the straight sinus.

The superior cerebellar veins pass partly forward and medialward, across the superior vermis, to end in the straight sinus and the internal cerebral veins, partly lateralward to the transverse and superior petrosal sinuses.
