| Name | Description | System |
|---|---|---|
| Abdomen | The abdomen is the body region between the chest and pelvis housing vital digestive, metabolic, and excretory organs, protected by muscular and peritoneal layers. | Digestive System |
| Abdominal Aorta | Part of descending aorta within the abdomen. | Cardiovascular System |
| Abdominal Cavity | The abdominal cavity is the largest body cavity, housing vital digestive and excretory organs, lined by the peritoneum and essential for protection, metabolism, and organ movement. | Digestive System |
| Abducens Nerve | The abducent nerve (cranial nerve VI) is a motor nerve that controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, enabling outward movement (abduction) of the eyeball. | Nervous System |
| Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscle | The abductor digiti minimi muscle is a hypothenar muscle that abducts and flexes the little finger, aiding grip and precision in hand movements. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Accessory Pancreatic Duct | Secondary duct emptying into duodenum. | Digestive System |
| Acetabulum | The acetabulum is the pelvic socket that connects with the femoral head to form the hip joint, vital for stability, movement, and weight-bearing. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Achilles Tendon | Tendon connecting the calf muscle to the heel bone. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Acromioclavicular Joint | The acromioclavicular joint connects the clavicle and scapula at the top of the shoulder, enabling smooth scapular motion and stability during arm movements. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Acromioclavicular Ligament | Ligament that connects the acromion to the clavicle. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Adductors | Muscles that bring the thighs toward the midline. | Musculoskeletal System |
| Adipose Tissue | Fat tissue in the hypodermis that insulates and stores energy. | Integumentary System |
| Adrenal Cortex | Produces corticosteroids such as cortisol and aldosterone. | Endocrine System |
| Adrenal Glands | Located above the kidneys, produce hormones for metabolism and stress response. | Endocrine System |
| Adrenal Medulla | Produces adrenaline and norepinephrine in response to stress. | Endocrine System |
