Definition
A bone of the skull in vertebrates, particularly prominent in fish and reptiles, located near the sphenoid bone and having wing-like projections.
Etymology
From 'ala' (Latin 'wing') plus 'sphenoid' (from Greek sphenoeides, 'wedge-shaped'). It's a bone with wing-like (alar) processes extending from the sphenoid region.
Kelly Says
Fish have alisphenoids that are massive compared to humans—evolutionary biologists look at how fish alisphenoids evolved into our tiny human versions to trace how skulls transformed from water to land over 300 million years!
