Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location deal unambiguously with the anatomy of animals, including humans.

Ascending colon

The ascending colon is the part of the colon located between the cecum and the transverse colon.

Cecum

The cecum or caecum (plural ceca; from the Latin caecus meaning blind) is an intraperitoneal pouch that is considered to be the beginning of the large intestine.

Cisterna chyli

The cisterna chyli (or cysterna chyli, and etymologically more correct, receptaculum chyli) is a dilated sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct in most mammals into which lymph from the intestinal trunk and two lumbar lymphatic trunks flow.

Colic flexures

There are two colic flexures, or curvatures in the transverse colon.

Descending colon

The descending colon is the part of the large intestine from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hindgut fermentation

Hindgut fermentation is a digestive process seen in monogastric herbivores, animals with a simple, single-chambered stomach.

Illacme plenipes

Illacme plenipes is a siphonorhinid millipede found in the central region of the U.S. state of California.

Inferior mesenteric artery

In human anatomy, the inferior mesenteric artery, often abbreviated as IMA, is the third main branch of the abdominal aorta and arises at the level of L3, supplying the large intestine from the left colic (or splenic) flexure to the upper part of the rectum, which includes the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and part of the rectum.

Inferior mesenteric plexus

The inferior mesenteric plexus is derived chiefly from the aortic plexus.

Kidney

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.

Lumbar splanchnic nerves

The lumbar splanchnic nerves are splanchnic nerves that arise from the lumbar part of the sympathetic trunk and travel to an adjacent plexus near the aorta.

Mesenchyme

Mesenchyme, in vertebrate embryology, is a type of connective tissue found mostly during the development of the embryo.

New!!: Hindgut and Mesenchyme · See more »

Portal venous system

In the circulatory system of animals, a portal venous system occurs when a capillary bed pools into another capillary bed through veins, without first going through the heart.

Rectum

The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals, and the gut in others.

New!!: Hindgut and Rectum · See more »

Sigmoid colon

The sigmoid colon (pelvic colon) is the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus.

New!!: Hindgut and Sigmoid colon · See more »

Transverse colon

The transverse colon is the longest and most movable part of the colon.

New!!: Hindgut and Transverse colon · See more »

Urinary bladder

The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ in humans and some other animals that collects and stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination.

New!!: Hindgut and Urinary bladder · See more »

Zoology

Zoology or animal biology is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems.
