- Anterior interventricular arteryRamus interventricularis anterior arteriae coronariae sinistraeThe main forward branch of the left coronary artery, running down the groove between the two ventricles on the front of the heart.
- Anterior segment of eyeballSegmentum anterius bulbi oculiThe front portion of the eyeball, comprising cornea, iris, ciliary body, lens and the two chambers of aqueous humour.
- Ascending colonColon ascendensThe first segment of the colon, climbing the right side of the abdomen from the caecum to the underside of the liver.
- Bile ductDuctus biliarisThe duct carrying bile from the junction of the hepatic and cystic ducts down to the descending duodenum.
- Circumflex artery of heartArteria circumflexa cordisThe left coronary artery's branch that curves round the left side of the heart in the groove between atrium and ventricle.
- CorneaThe clear, dome-shaped front of the eyeball, set into the sclera at the limbus and lying in front of the anterior chamber, iris and pupil.
- Cusps of the aortic valveValvulae semilunares valvae aortaeThe three half-moon cusps of the aortic valve, guarding the outlet from the left ventricle into the aorta and named for the coronary arteries.
- Cusps of the pulmonary valveValvulae semilunares valvae trunci pulmonalisThe three semilunar cusps of the pulmonary valve, closing the outlet of the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk.
- Descending colonColon descendensThe segment of the colon running down the left flank, from the splenic flexure as far as the pelvic brim.
- DuodenumThe opening segment of the small intestine, and its shortest, a C-shaped loop curving around the pancreatic head.
- EpiglottisA leaf-shaped flap of elastic cartilage behind the root of the tongue that tips back to cover the entrance of the larynx when swallowing.
- GallbladderVesica biliarisA small pear-shaped sac on the underside of the liver that stores and concentrates bile between meals.
- GingivaThe gum: the firm mucous membrane covering the tooth-bearing parts of the jaws and sealing around the neck of each tooth.
- Greater omentumOmentum maiusA large, fatty apron of peritoneum that hangs from the stomach's greater curvature over the front of the intestines.
- Inferior leaflet of right atrioventricular valveCuspis inferior valvae atrioventricularis dextraeOne of the three flaps of the tricuspid valve, hanging from the lower part of the valve ring between right atrium and ventricle.
- Inferior lobe of left lungLobus inferior pulmonis sinistriThe lower of the two lobes of the left lung, behind and below the oblique fissure, resting on the left dome of the diaphragm.
- Inferior lobe of right lungLobus inferior pulmonis dextriThe largest lobe of the right lung, lying behind and below the oblique fissure and resting on the right dome of the diaphragm.
- Inferior parathyroid glandGlandula parathyreoidea inferiorThe lower of the two small parathyroid glands on each side, usually lying behind the lower pole of the thyroid lobe.
- Inferior vein of left ventricleVena inferior ventriculi sinistriA vein on the diaphragmatic surface of the left ventricle that drains into the coronary sinus at the back of the heart.
- Intermediate bronchusBronchus intermediusThe short stretch of the right main bronchus between the upper-lobe branch and its division into middle and lower lobar bronchi.
