- Submandibular ductDuctus submandibularisThe duct of the submandibular gland, running forwards in the floor of the mouth to open beside the frenulum of the tongue.
- Submandibular glandGlandula submandibularisA paired salivary gland below the oral floor, tucked against the inner surface of the lower jaw near its angle.
- Superior lobe of left lungLobus superior pulmonis sinistriThe upper lobe of the left lung, holding the apex and the tongue-like lingula that curves round the front of the heart.
- Superior lobe of right lungLobus superior pulmonis dextriThe uppermost of the three lobes of the right lung, filling the top of the right chest above the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- Superior parathyroid glandGlandula parathyroidea superiorThe upper of the two parathyroid glands on each side, lying behind the middle of the thyroid lobe near the cricoid cartilage.
- Suprarenal glandGlandula suprarenalisA small endocrine gland capping the upper pole of each kidney in the retroperitoneum, with a steroid-making cortex and an adrenaline-making medulla.
- Suspensory ligament of eyeballLigamentum suspensorium bulbiA sling-like thickening of the fascial sheath of the eyeball, slung beneath the globe between the medial and lateral orbital walls.
- Taeniae coliThree narrow bands of longitudinal smooth muscle running along the outside of the caecum and colon and meeting at the base of the appendix.
- Thyroid glandGlandula thyreoideaA butterfly-shaped endocrine gland in the lower front of the neck, wrapped around the larynx and upper trachea, that makes thyroid hormones and calcitonin.
- TongueLinguaA highly mobile muscular organ in the floor of the mouth, used for chewing, swallowing, taste and speech.
- TracheaThe windpipe: a flexible tube stiffened by cartilage rings that runs from the larynx in the neck to its division into the two main bronchi.
- Transverse colonColon transversumThe longest and most mobile segment of the colon, hanging across the abdomen from the hepatic flexure to the splenic flexure.
- UreterThe narrow muscular tube that carries urine from the renal pelvis of each kidney down the posterior abdominal wall and into the urinary bladder.
- Urinary bladderVesica urinariaThe hollow, muscular reservoir for urine, lying in the front of the pelvis behind the pubic symphysis and rising into the abdomen as it fills.
- Uvula of palateUvula palatinaThe small cone of soft tissue hanging from the middle of the back edge of the soft palate, above the root of the tongue.
