Description
A Sinus is a sack or cavity in any organ or tissue, or an abnormal cavity or passage caused by the destruction of tissue. In common usage, sinus usually refers to the paranasal sinuses, which are air cavities in the cranial bones, especially those near the nose and connecting to it. The term is also applied to a variety of other structures in animals, such as: A dilated portion of a vein, such as inside the braincase. A chronically infected tract such as a passage between an abscess and the skin. It is however distinct from a fistula which is a tract connecting two epithelialised surfaces. Another name for the hemocoel, a space in organisms with open circulatory systems filled with hemolymph. Another name for the nostril. Various structures of the heart : The sinus node is a structure in the superior part of the right atrium of the heart, producing the electrical impulse for the heart's contraction. Sinus is also sometimes used short for sinus rhythm. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
