Vomerine groove [Septal]
Sulcus vomeris [septalis]
Definition
The dorsal border of the vomer is carved on its whole length by a narrow and deep septal groove (Sulcus septalis), the vomerine groove, meant to receive the ventral border of the nasal septum. This septum, continuous with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, ossifies gradually.
