| upper limb | The upper limb or upper extremity is the region in an animal extending from the deltoid region to the hand, including the arm, axilla and shoulder [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_limb]. | — |
| intestine | The tubular part of the alimentary canal that extends from the stomach to the anus [Brenda]. | — |
| thyroid | The thyroid gland or simply, the thyroid (ËθaɪrÉɪd ...), in vertebrate anatomy, is one of the largest endocrine glands. The thyroid gland is found in the neck, below the thyroid cartilage (which forms the laryngeal prominence, or "Adam's apple"). The isthmus (the bridge between the two lobes of the thyroid) is located inferior to the cricoid cartilage [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid]. | — |
| diaphragm | The thin muscle below the lungs and heart that separates the chest from the abdomen [Brenda]. | — |
| bone marrow | The soft, fatty, vascular tissue that fills most bone cavities and is the source of red blood cells and many white blood cells [Brenda]. | — |
| peritoneum | The smooth transparent serous membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen of a mammal and is folded inward over the abdominal and pelvic viscera [Brenda]. | — |
| joint | The point of contact between elements of an animal skeleton with the parts that surround and support it [Brenda]. | — |
| peripheral nervous system | The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the central nervous system (CNS) to sensory organs (such as the eye and ear), other organs of the body, muscles, blood vessels and glands [Brenda]. | — |
| pharynx | The part of the vertebrate alimentary canal between the cavity of the mouth and the esophagus.nThe pharynx of Nematodes is an efficient pump and forces food into the intestines [Brenda]. | — |
| parathyroid | The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone. Humans usually have four parathyroid glands, which are usually located on the rear surface of the thyroid gland, or, in rare cases, within the thyroid gland itself or in the chest. Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_gland]. | — |
| urinary system | The organs and passageways concerned with the production and excretion of urine, including the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra [Brenda]. | — |
| oral cavity | The mouth is the first portion of the alimentary canal that receives food and [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth]. | — |
| larynx | The modified upper part of the trachea of air-breathing vertebrates that in humans, most other mammals, and a few lower forms contains the vocal cords [Brenda]. | — |
| whole body | The main part of an animal body especially as distinguished from limbs and head [Brenda]. | — |
| lower limb | The lower limb is a limb of the body [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_limb]. According to Terminologia Anatomica, it includes the pelvic girdle, buttocks, hip, and thigh, as well as the components distal to the knee [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_limb]. | — |
| skin | The integument of an animal (as a fur-bearing mammal or a bird) separated from the body usually with its hair or feathers [Brenda]. | — |
| pelvis | The inferior portion of the trunk of the body, bounded anteriorly and laterally by the two hip bones and posteriorly by the sacrum and coccyx. The pelvis is divided by a plane passing through the terminal lines into the pelvis major superiorly and the pelvis minor inferiorly [Brenda]. | — |
| subcutaneous | The hypodermis, also called the hypoderm, subcutaneous tissue, or superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the integumentary system in vertebrates. (Hypoderm and subcutaneous are from Greek and Latin words, respectively, for "beneath the skin.")Types of cells that are found in the hypodermis are fibroblasts, adipose cells, and macrophages. It is derived from the mesoderm, but unlike the dermis, it is not derived from the dermatome region of the mesoderm. In arthropods, the hypodermis is an epidermal layer of cells that secretes the chitinous cuticle. The term also refers to a layer of cells lying immediately below the epidermis of plants [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcutaneous_tissue]. | — |
| tonsil | The human palatine tonsils and the nasopharyngeal tonsil are lymphoepithelial tissues located in strategic areas of the oropharynx and nasopharynx, although most commonly, the term tonsils refers to the palatine tonsils that can be seen in the back of the throat [Brenda]. | faucial tonsil |
| bone | The hard form of connective tissue that constitutes the majority of the skeleton of most vertebrates; it consists of an organic component (the cells and matrix) and an inorganic, or mineral, component; the matrix contains a framework of collagenous fibers and is impregnated with the mineral component, chiefly calcium phosphate (85 per cent) and calcium carbonate (10 per cent), which imparts the quality of rigidity to bone [Brenda]. | — |
| excretory system | The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from an organism, so as to help maintain homeostasis within the organism and prevent damage to the body. It is responsible for the elimination of the waste products of metabolism as well as other liquid and gaseous wastes. As most healthy functioning organs produce metabolic and other wastes, the entire organism depends on the function of the system; however, only the organs specifically for the excretion process are considered a part of the excretory system. The excretory system gets rid of waste called urine or "pee" [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excretory_system]. | — |
| oesophagus | The esophagus (oesophagus) is an organ in vertebrates which consists of a muscular tube through which food passes from the pharynx to the stomach. During swallowing, food passes from the mouth through the pharynx into the esophagus and travels via peristalsis to the stomach. The word esophagus is derived from the Latin Åsophagus, which derives from the Greek word oisophagos, lit. "entrance for eating." In humans the esophagus is continuous with the laryngeal part of the pharynx at the level of the C6 vertebra. The esophagus passes through posterior mediastinum in thorax and enters abdomen through a hole in the diaphragm at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebrae (T10). It is usually about 25â30 cm long depending on individual height. It is divided into cervical, thoracic and abdominal parts. Due to the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, the entry to the esophagus opens only when swallowing or vomiting [Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophagus]. | — |
| pleura | The delicate serous membrane that lines each half of the thorax of mammals and is folded back over the surface of the lung of the same side [Brenda]. | — |
| central nervous system | The central nervous system is that part of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system (CNS) is one of the two major divisions of the nervous system. The other is the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which is outside the brain and spinal cord [Brenda]. | — |
| liver and biliary system | The biliary system consists of the organs and ducts (bile ducts, gallbladder, and associated structures) that are involved in the production and transportation of bile [MedicalCenter: http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/patientcare/healthcare_services/liver_biliary_pancreatic_disease/biliary_system_anatomy/Pages/index.aspx]. | — |
