Transverse abdominis The deepest layer of abdominal muscles, with fibers that run horizontally (on a transverse plane), playing a key role in stabilizing the core and compressing the abdominal contents.
Biceps femoris A muscle of the posterior thigh and part of the hamstring group, not the quadriceps femoris group. It functions to extend the hip and flex the knee.
Gray matter Regions of the brain and spinal cord composed primarily of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons. It is involved in processing and integrating information.
Endoneurium The deepest connective tissue layer of a nerve, surrounding each individual nerve fiber (axon) and its myelin sheath, providing support and protection.
Thoracic Not a spinal nerve plexus. The thoracic spinal nerves (T1–T12) do not form a plexus, except for T1, which contributes to the brachial plexus.
Pineal gland A small endocrine structure located deep in the center of the brain (in the epithalamus) that releases the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm).
Infundibulum The anatomical stalk that connects the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus, allowing for the transport of hormones and regulatory signals between the two structures.
Fovea centralis A small, central pit located in the macula lutea of the retina that contains the highest concentration of cone cells, responsible for sharp central vision and color perception.
Capillaries Microscopic blood vessels that connect arterioles (small arteries) to venules (small veins), allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and surrounding tissues.
