MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html).

Accession:MP:0030468 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the passageway within the petrous temporal bone that transmits the internal carotid artery and sympathetic plexus; its inferior opening is the carotid foramen situated anteriorly to the jugular fossa and medially to the tympanic plate; the carotid canal is initially directed superiorly, then turns anteromedially to reach up to the petrous apex, runs within the petrous bone, and opens into the middle cranial fossa superior to the foramen lacerum
