We see them touching, touching, scratching or cleaning every day, but we don’t know what to call them. There are body parts that almost no one knows what they are called and in many cases we have not heard of it either. It is normal, they are too much and most are not anatomists, but some have such original names, or such curious stories about their etymology or function, which is worth knowing them. We collect a small monster.
Also called subnasal or nasolabial groove, it is the depression that extends from the nasal septum to the edge of the upper lip. «The filtrum area is the point where the development of the face culminates. When the tissue that the palate has arisen, it is not united with that of the lip, there is a congenital defect known as the Libyon Lip, ”explains Rosa Rodríguez Torres, professor and anatomy Professor at the University of Alcalá de Henares.
At the end of the Filtrum there is a small height, the upper lip tuber and, together, the upper lip cutaneous dividing line configures a V-shaped arch called the Cupido arch. When considering a beauty symbol, it is one of the most requested areas in cosmetic tattoo.
It is a word of Latin origin that means’ small half moon ‘or’ growing moon ‘and’ because of its similarity with the satellite, this is the semi -round whitish part that appears in the base of the nails, it is always more marked in the thumb than in the rest of the fingers; Very little is marked in De Kleine Meñique and sometimes lack, “says the specialist. .
Lunula is an indicator for various diseases at a medical level. The lack of this may be due to some types of anemia and malnutrition. Its discoloration is associated with diabetes mellitus. His redness, with cardiovascular and hematological disorders; And the increase in size (when it occupies half or more of the nails) with kidney or liver diseases.
It indicates “the cartilage -like curvy flens that is born in the scale – thermal that the gap indicates where we turn on the headphones, but which is also used to refer to the female intimate area – and flows in the lob,” says Rodríguez. It is the place where the famous ‘piercings’ of the ear are made cartilage.
In some people, on the back of Hellix there is a small thickening of the cartilage called Darwin’s tuber. It is an anatomical remnant of the tip of the ear, common in mammals, whose original function would have been lost during evolution.
The opposite part of the elbow, which we have to cover our mouths with sneezing since the Covid-19 reached our lives, is bleeding. «Under the skin of this area, glasses and nerves run. The superficial veins create the shape of a capitalM: it is at this level where intravenous injections, blood attractions and alleged bleeding are practiced, “says Rodríguez.
«If we put our finger as if we were self -stop, with the thumb up, we will see that a triangular depression is then formed when the tendons are marked. That hole is called anatomical tobacco and you can take the wrist of the radial artery (the same that is taken in the wrist). The name stems from the use used in this body surface to place tobacco or shame – an prepared from the leaves of the tobacco plant – and then sniff them, ”says the specialist.
In the internal corner of the eyes there is a fame called the Treancaruncula. “His function, in addition to participation in mucous fencing, is to retain tears because it is part of the tear lake of the eye,” explains Rodríguez.
In Latin, ‘caruncula’ ‘piece of meat’ or ‘meat that distinguishes itself from the body’ means that there are other karuncles spread all over the body, such as sublingual, small protrusions found on each side of the tongue frenulum.
Also known as Venus or Eyes or Venus, it is the names that receive the two light depression that appear in the lumbar area of the back of some people. They are more marked in women.
Since ancient times it has been a symbol of beauty, being considered more attractive for the people they wear – hence their association with Venus, the goddess of beauty, sensuality and love – who has led to a pretty demanded cosmetic surgery.
They look like the names of a famous television party, but refer to the thick fingers of the feet and hands respectively. The term Pollex is associated with the verb ‘Polleo’, which means ‘being strong’, the thumb the finger is more vented hand. For his part, Halux means ‘great finger’. “In medicine is a Hallux Valgus that is known as Juanete,” describes Rodríguez.
The peculiarity of the Halux is that in most primates it has a position that is comparable to that of the thumb, so that they can be a key factor for Bípeda -Voorvoordie van de Voel.
