sinus transversus
The Sinus Transversus is a term used in human anatomy that refers to a portion of the venous sinus system in the brain. It is also known as the transverse sinus. The transverse sinuses are two areas beneath the brain which allow blood to drain from the back of the head. They run laterally in a groove on the interior surface of occipital bone and drain to the sigmoid sinuses, which then continue to the internal jugular vein. This system is responsible for draining oxygen-depleted blood from the brain and transporting it back to the heart.
