- IrisThe coloured, ring-shaped diaphragm of the eye, lying between cornea and lens, whose central opening, the pupil, controls how much light enters.
- JejunumThe middle part of the small intestine, following the duodenum and leading into the ileum, coiled mainly in the upper left abdomen.
- Lacrimal canaliculusCanaliculus lacrimalisA fine tear-draining channel in the medial part of each eyelid, running from the lacrimal punctum to the lacrimal sac.
- Lacrimal glandGlandula lacrimalisThe almond-shaped tear gland lying in the upper outer corner of each orbit, which makes the watery layer of the tear film.
- Lacrimal sacSaccus lacrimalisThe closed upper end of the nasolacrimal passage, lying in the lacrimal fossa at the medial wall of the orbit and receiving the canaliculi.
- LaryngopharynxPars laryngea pharyngisThe lowest part of the pharynx, behind the larynx, where the throat leads down into the oesophagus.
- Left atriumAtrium sinistrumThe upper left chamber of the heart, at its back, which takes oxygenated blood from the lungs and passes it to the left ventricle.
- Left coronary arteryArteria coronaria sinistraThe coronary artery arising from the left aortic sinus, a short trunk that soon divides to feed most of the left heart.
- Left inferior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris inferior sinisterThe lower terminal branch of the left main bronchus, running down and back into the lower lobe of the left lung.
- Left lobe of thymusLobus sinister thymiThe left of the two lobes of the thymus, lying behind the sternum in the superior and anterior mediastinum in front of the great vessels.
- Left main bronchusBronchus principalis sinisterThe longer, narrower of the two airways formed where the trachea divides, carrying air beneath the aortic arch into the left lung.
- Left superior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris superior sinisterThe upper of the two branches of the left main bronchus, supplying the upper lobe of the left lung and its lingula.
- Left ventricleVentriculus sinisterThe thick-walled lower left chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood out through the aortic valve to the whole body.
- LensThe transparent, biconvex focusing body of the eye, hung behind the iris from the ciliary body by the zonular fibres.
- Lesser omentumOmentum minusA thin double fold of peritoneum stretching from the underside of the liver to the stomach's lesser curvature and the duodenum.
- LiverHeparThe largest internal organ and gland, filling the upper right abdomen under the diaphragm and handling much of the body's metabolism.
- Meso-appendixMesoappendixThe small triangular fold of peritoneum that suspends the vermiform appendix from the back of the ileal mesentery.
- MesocolonThe fold of peritoneum and connective tissue that attaches the colon to the back wall of the abdomen and carries its vessels.
- Middle lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris mediusThe forward-running branch of the right intermediate bronchus that supplies the middle lobe of the right lung.
- Middle lobe of right lungLobus medius pulmonis dextriThe smallest lobe of the right lung, a wedge between the horizontal and oblique fissures lying against the front chest wall and heart.
- Mucosa of nasal cavityTunica mucosa nasiThe moist, richly vascular lining of the nasal cavity, which warms, humidifies and filters inspired air and carries the receptors for smell.
- Mucosa of stomachTunica mucosa gastrisThe soft, folded inner lining of the stomach, packed with the glands that make gastric acid, enzymes and protective mucus.
- Nasolacrimal ductDuctus nasolacrimalisThe membranous tube leading tears downwards from the lacrimal sac through a bony canal to open into the inferior meatus of the nose.
- NasopharynxPars nasalis pharyngisThe uppermost part of the pharynx, behind the nasal cavities and above the soft palate, carrying air from nose to throat.
