This pocket or fossa which is the most important and constant of the peritoneal recesses in the neighborhood of the caecum, opens upward and to the left.
The duodenal fossa in this case is bounded by an "upper" and "lower" duodenal fold continuous with each other on the left side, but separated on the right at their attachment to the duodenum.
A second peritoneal pocket or fossa is encountered in the region of the sigmoid flexure and its mesocolon.
This inclusion of the vena cava in the fissure or fossa of that name on the dorsal surface of the liver affords, so to speak, the vertical measure of the non-peritoneal area of the liver attached directly to the diaphragm.
The ectoderm lining the bottom of this anal fossa or depression is separated by a little mesoderm tissue from the entodermal lining of the blind pouch of the caudal gut.
The intermediate fold, short in its caecal attachment, does not meet the dorsal vascular fold at any point, consequently the ileo-caecal fossa is not limited caudad toward the root of the appendix.
This depression increases in depth until a distinct anal invagination results, known as the proctodaeum, which grows as a funnel-shaped fossa toward the blind termination of the endgut.
The well-marked duodenal fossa is bounded by a superior and inferior duodenal fold, uniting laterally in a crescentic margin containing a segment of the inferior mesenteric vein and colica sinistra artery.

The femur is quite like that of a horse, and has the characteristic fossa above the external condyle.
The femur is more like that of the Paloeotheria than that of the horse, and has only a small depression above its outer condyle in the place of the great fossa which is so obvious in the Equidoe.

Apical portion of anterior tibiae angularly dilated beneath, the spongy fossa being preceded by a small prominence.
On the posterior or septal wall, between the two auricles, is an oval depression, called the fossa ovalis (fig.
On the septal wall is a small depression like the mark of a finger-nail, which corresponds to the anterior part of the fossa ovalis and often forms a valvular communication with the right auricle.

The subtemporal fossa is essentially triangular, and its broad end is bounded anteriorly by the pterygoid flange.
From a functional standpoint it is doubtful that a major component of the adductors arose from the quadrate wing of the pterygoid, for when the jaw is closed the Meckelian fossa is directly lateral to that bone.
The muscle passed into the Meckelian fossa of the mandible and inserted on the angular, surangular, prearticular, coronoid and dentary bones.
Insertion was in the Meckelian fossa and on the dorsal surface of the adjoining coronoid process.
In anterior aspect the fibers were obliquely oriented, since the jaw and subtemporal fossa are lateral to much of the skull-roof from which the fibers arose.
A small hollow above the ridge, anterior to the glenoid cavity, faces the medial plane of the skull and is bordered by the articular bone behind and above, and by the Meckelian fossa in front.
The coronoid process in Captorhinus is not oriented vertically, but slopes inward toward the midline at approximately 45 degrees, effectively roofing the Meckelian fossa and limiting its opening to the median surface of each ramus.
The fossa is lateral to much of the adductor chamber; consequently muscles arising from the parietals passed ventrolaterally, parallel to the oblique quadrate ramus of the pterygoid, to their attachment on the mandible.
The muscle usually arises from the epipterygoid and nearby areas of the braincase and skull roof and inserts in the anterior parts of the fossa of the jaw.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "fossa" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
