Definition

Andréa Lopes da Costa

The spheno-ethmoidal plate is a crest that connects to the vomer ventrally and to the basal lamina of the ethmoid bone rostrodorsally.

It contributes to separate the nasopharyngeal meatus from the ethmoidal labyrinthus.

Variations:

  • In Dogs and Pigs, it is particularly long.

  • In the other species, it is not very distinct.
