Sphenoid bone: posterior view. The sphenoid bone (os sphenoidale) is a central, unpaired bone with direct contact to almost all other skull bones. The sphenoid bone comprises the central part (corpus), the pairs of greater and lesser wings, and pterygoid processes.

2022年4月18日 · The sphenoid bone consists of a central body, with two lateral paired wings on either side – the lesser and greater wings – and two pterygoid processes. This unique anatomy gives the bone a prominent bat-, butterfly-, or wasp-like appearance.
