Crista galli

From latin: 'the rooster's crest', the crista galli of the ethmoid bone separates the two cribriform plates on the median plane, as the perpendicular plate does on the rostroventral side of the bone.

In Men, it is well developed, hence its name;

in Dogs, it is very weak, expecially in young dogs;

in Pigs it is very stretched rostrocaudally and nearly parallel to the great axis of the head.
