Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The greater wing or ali-sphenoid of the sphenoid bone is a process which projects from either side of the lower part of the sphenoid body, at a common junction with the pterygoid process ¹. It is a paired structure, which curves upward, backward and laterally from each side of the sphenoid body, which can be likened to the extended wings of a bat ². Both wings also have a triangular process projecting inferiorly which is known as the spine of the sphenoid bone."

Line 1:299 · Use the Oxford comma in 'upward, backward and laterally'.

"The greater wing of the sphenoid features superior, lateral and orbital surfaces."

Line 3:46 · Use the Oxford comma in 'superior, lateral and orbital'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"sphenoidal emissary foramen (occasionally present) it is a small aperture medial to the foramen ovale, opposite the root of the pterygoid process; it opens below near the scaphoid fossa and transmits a small vein from the cavernous sinus"

Line 41:153 · Use semicolons judiciously.
