- Gracile fasciculusFasciculus gracilisThe medial part of the posterior column of the spinal cord, carrying fine touch, vibration and position sense from the lower limb and lower trunk.
- Gracile lobuleLobulus gracilisA slender lobule on the inferior surface of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying between the inferior semilunar lobule and the biventral lobule.
- Gracilis muscleMusculus gracilisGracilis is the long, slender strap muscle running down the inner side of the thigh from the pubis to below the knee.
- Great cardiac veinVena magna cordisThe largest tributary of the coronary sinus, climbing the anterior interventricular groove and curving left round the heart to its back.
- Great saphenous veinVena saphena magnaThe long superficial vein of the lower limb, running from the inner foot up the leg and thigh to the femoral vein.
- Greater omentumOmentum maiusA large, fatty apron of peritoneum that hangs from the stomach's greater curvature over the front of the intestines.
- Greater palatine arteryArteria palatina majorThe continuation of the descending palatine artery that runs forward under the hard palate to the incisive canal.
- HabenulaA small paired nucleus of the epithalamus, beside the pineal stalk at the back of the third ventricle, linking forebrain to midbrain.
- Hemi-azygos veinVena hemiazygaA vein beside the lower thoracic spine on the left that drains the lower left chest wall and crosses the midline to join the azygos.
- Hepatic portal veinVena portae hepatisThe short, wide vein that carries blood from the gut, spleen, pancreas and gallbladder into the liver, formed at the pancreatic neck.
- Hepatic veinsVenae hepaticaeThe valveless veins that carry blood out of the liver and open directly into the inferior vena cava behind it.
- Hip boneOs coxaeThe large flat bone forming each side of the pelvis, made of the fused ilium, ischium and pubis, holding the socket of the hip joint.
- Hippocampal commissureCommissura hippocampiA thin triangular sheet of crossing fibres between the two crura of the fornix, under the splenium of the corpus callosum, linking the hippocampi.
- HippocampusA curved ridge of grey matter bulging into the lateral ventricle's temporal horn, central to forming memories and to spatial navigation.
- Humeral head of extensor carpi ulnarisCaput humerale extensoris ulnaris carpiThis is the upper, humeral head of the ulnar wrist extensor, arising from the outer elbow and running down the back of the forearm.
- Humeral head of flexor carpi ulnarisCaput humerale musculi flexoris carpi ulnarisThe humeral head is the upper, elbow-born part of flexor carpi ulnaris, the wrist flexor on the little finger side of the forearm.
- Humero-ulnar head of flexor digitorum superficialisCaput humeroulnare musculi flexoris digitorum superficialisThe humero-ulnar head is the larger, upper origin of flexor digitorum superficialis, arising from the inner elbow and the ulna.
- HumerusThe long bone of the upper arm, running from the shoulder joint above to the elbow joint below.
- Hyoglossus muscleMusculus hyoglossusThe hyoglossus is a thin, flat tongue muscle rising from the hyoid bone into the side of the tongue, which it pulls down.
- Hyoid boneOs hyoideumA U-shaped bone across the front of the neck, below the chin and above the larynx, held in place by muscles and ligaments alone.
- Hypoglossal nerve (XII)Nervus hypoglossus (XII)The twelfth cranial nerve, a purely motor nerve that leaves the medulla, loops through the upper neck and moves almost every muscle of the tongue.
- HypothalamusA small region of the diencephalon below the thalamus that controls the pituitary gland and the body's internal balance.
- Ileal branch of ileocolic arteryRamus ilealis arteriae ileocolicaeAn offshoot of the ileocolic artery that runs along the terminal ileum in the lower right abdomen, supplying the last part of the small intestine.
- Ileocolic arteryArteria ileocolicaThe last branch of the superior mesenteric artery, running to the right iliac fossa to supply the terminal ileum, caecum and appendix.
