- Fourth ventricleVentriculus quartusThe diamond-shaped cavity of the hindbrain, lying between the pons and medulla in front and the cerebellum behind.
- Frenula capsulaeLongitudinal folds of the reflected hip joint capsule and synovial membrane running along the neck of the femur towards the head.
- Frontal boneOs frontaleThe single bone of the forehead, which also roofs both eye sockets and forms the front of the cranial vault.
- Frontal branch of superficial temporal arteryRamus frontalis arteriae temporalis superficialisThe forward terminal branch of the superficial temporal artery, winding up across the temple to the skin and muscles of the forehead.
- Frontal branches of callosomarginal arteryRami frontales arteriae callosomarginalisBranches of the callosomarginal artery that climb from the cingulate sulcus to supply the medial surface of the frontal lobe.
- Frontalis muscleMusculus frontalisThe frontalis is the thin, broad muscle sheet over the forehead that raises the eyebrows and wrinkles the forehead skin horizontally.
- GallbladderVesica biliarisA small pear-shaped sac on the underside of the liver that stores and concentrates bile between meals.
- Ganglia of sympathetic trunkGanglia trunci sympathiciSmall swellings strung along each sympathetic trunk beside the vertebral column, where sympathetic nerve cells relay signals to the body.
- Gastroduodenal arteryArteria gastroduodenalisA short artery behind the first part of the duodenum, normally a branch of the common hepatic artery, feeding the pylorus, duodenum and pancreatic head.
- Genicular veinsVenae genicularesVeins around the knee that accompany the genicular arteries and drain the joint and its surroundings into the popliteal vein.
- Genioglossus muscleMusculus genioglossusThe genioglossus is the fan-shaped muscle rising from the inner chin that forms most of the tongue and pushes it out.
- Geniohyoid muscleMusculus geniohyoideusGeniohyoid is a narrow strap muscle in the floor of the mouth, running from the back of the chin to the hyoid bone.
- Genitofemoral nerveNervus genitofemoralisA lumbar plexus nerve that pierces psoas major and runs down its front to supply the cremaster, groin skin and upper front of the thigh.
- GingivaThe gum: the firm mucous membrane covering the tooth-bearing parts of the jaws and sealing around the neck of each tooth.
- Glenoid labrumLabrum glenoideumA rim of fibrous tissue around the edge of the glenoid cavity of the scapula, deepening the socket of the shoulder joint.
- Globus pallidusThe pale inner part of the lentiform nucleus, deep in each cerebral hemisphere, and the main output station of the basal nuclei.
- Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)Nervus glossopharyngeus (IX)The ninth cranial nerve, a mixed nerve from the medulla serving the back of the tongue, the pharynx, the parotid gland and the carotid sinus.
- Gluteus maximus muscleMusculus gluteus maximusGluteus maximus is the large, thick muscle of the buttock that extends and laterally rotates the hip and steadies the pelvis.
- Gluteus medius muscleMusculus gluteus mediusGluteus medius is the broad, fan-shaped muscle on the outer side of the hip bone that holds the pelvis level when walking.
- Gluteus minimus muscleMusculus gluteus minimusGluteus minimus is the smallest and deepest gluteal muscle, a fan beneath gluteus medius running from the ilium to the greater trochanter.
