transverse sinus in dogs

One of the dural venous sinuses and drains the superior sagittal sinus the occipital sinus and the straight sinus, and empties into the sigmoid sinus which in turn reaches the jugular bulb. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the transverse sinus is

One of the dural venous sinuses and drains the superior sagittal sinus the occipital sinus and the straight sinus, and empties into the sigmoid sinus which in turn reaches the jugular bulb. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the transverse sinus is

It sits in the head, within the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the transverse sinus connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity and head.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the transverse sinus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as sinus transversus durae matris, groove for right and left transverse sinuses, lateral sinus, sinus transversus, transverse sinus and transverse sinus vein. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the transverse sinus the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
