The sphenoid bone is situated at the base of the skull. It consists of a body, two great wings, two small wings, and two pterygoid processes.
The sphenoidal conchae are two curved bony plates on either side of the crest covering the sinuses. On their upper part is the opening of the sinus of the sphenoid bone that leads into the sinus. (1)
The sinus of the sphenoid bone is an irregular cavity found inside the sphenoid bone’s body. A thin bony plate separates the two sinuses. (1)
The sinus of the maxilla is a large cavity that is enclosed in the body of the maxilla. (1)
The septum of sphenoidal sinuses is a thin bony lamina that separates the sinuses of the sphenoid bone from one another. (1)
