Behind the ostium of the eustachian tube (ostium pharyngeum tuba auditiva) is a deep recess, the pharyngeal recess (fossa of Rosenmüller). Clinical significance
The largest of these recesses is called lacuna magna (or the sinus of Guérin, or Guérin's sinus), which is situated on the upper surface of the fossa navicularis. Located deeper within the lacunae are branching mucous tubules called the glands of Littre.
The hadal zone, also known as the hadopelagic zone, is the deepest region of the ocean, lying within oceanic trenches.The hadal zone ranges from around 6 to 11 km (3.7 to 6.8 mi; 20,000 to 36,000 ft) below sea level, and exists in long, narrow, topographic V-shaped depressions.
The bars reserved exclusively for MPs and peers – in the deeper recesses of the ancient building – such as the Pugin Room or the Members' Smoking Room (which is now non-smoking) may have the ...
The pyriform sinus (also piriform recess, piriform sinus, piriform fossa, or smuggler's fossa) is a small recess on either side of the laryngeal inlet. It is bounded medially by the aryepiglottic fold, and laterally by the thyroid cartilage and thyrohyoid membrane. [1]
It assists lung expansion during deep inspiration, although its role is not as significant as the costodiaphragmatic recess, which has a greater volume. The lung expands into the costomediastinal recess even during shallow inspiration. The costomediastinal recess is most obvious in the cardiac notch of the left lung.
Kathryn Hahn recalls improvising risqué “Step Brothers” scene: 'That came from the deep recesses of a recovering Catholic' Jessica Wang. December 17, 2024 at 4:48 PM.
Pleural effusions collect in the costodiaphragmatic recess when in standing position, [2] and present on plain X-rays as "blunting" of the costophrenic angle.. A thoracocentesis (pleural tap) is often performed here while a patient is in full expiration because of less risk of puncturing the lungs and thereby causing pneumothorax.
