Descriptor senos transversos
Entry term(s) seno lateral
Scope note: Son los dos grandes conductos venosos, revestidos por endotelio, que se inician a la altura de la protuberancia occipital, en la parte posterior e inferior del CRÁNEO y transcurren lateralmente y en sentido anterior, para terminar en la vena yugular interna (VENAS YUGULARES). Uno de los senos transversos (generalmente el derecho), es la continuación del SENO SAGITAL SUPERIOR. El otro seno transverso es la continuación del seno recto.

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.
