pterygoid, a. (n.) Anat.|pt-, ˈtɛrɪgɔɪd| [ad. Gr. πτερυγοειδής, contr. πτερυγώδης like a wing, f. πτέρυξ, -υγ- wing: see -oid.] A. adj. Having the form or appearance of a wing, wing-like, wing-shaped. 1. pterygoid process (πτερυγοειδὴς ἀπόϕυσις, Galen): Each of two processes of bone descending (on each side) from the junction of the body and great wing of the sphenoid bone. The external pterygoid process is a process or extension of the alisphenoid, or great wing of the sphenoid, having no independent centre of ossification, and is in no vertebrate a distinct part. The internal pterygoid process is in origin a distinct bone, the pterygoid bone proper, which in lower vertebrates remains distinct and freely articulated, but in mammalia is ankylosed with the sphenoid, and sutured with the palatal bone. (In fishes there are several distinct pterygoid bones.) The external and internal pterygoid processes (or bones) are also called the pterygoid plates.
