Applicable Clinical Terms Definitions

Abdomen: That portion of the body that lies between the THORAX and the PELVIS.

Heart: The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood.

Joints: Also known as articulations, these are points of connection between the ends of certain separate bones, or where the borders of other bones are juxtaposed.

Lung: Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.

Peritoneal Cavity: The space enclosed by the peritoneum. It is divided into two portions, the greater sac and the lesser sac or omental bursa, which lies behind the STOMACH. The two sacs are connected by the foramen of Winslow, or epiploic foramen.
