MeSH Heading: Transverse Sinuses
Tree Number(s): A07.015.908.224.833
Unique ID: D054064
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054064
Scope Note: The two large endothelium-lined venous channels that begin at the internal occipital protuberance at the back and lower part of the CRANIUM and travels laterally and forward ending in the internal jugular vein (JUGULAR VEINS). One of the transverse sinuses, usually the right one, is the continuation of the SUPERIOR SAGITTAL SINUS. The other transverse sinus is the continuation of the straight sinus.
