The crista terminalis (also known as the terminal crest, or crista terminalis of His[1]) is a vertical ridge on the[2]: 56 posterolateral[3] inner surface of the adult right atrium extending between the superior vena cava, and the inferior vena cava.[2]: 56 The crista terminalis denotes where the junction of the embryologic sinus venosus and the right atrium occurred during embryonic development.[3] It forms a boundary between the rough[2]: 56 trabecular[4] portion and the smooth, sinus venosus-derived portion (sinus venarum) of the internal surface of the right atrium. The sinoatrial node is located within the crista terminalis.[2]: 56
