XI. Splanchnology. 2e. The Abdomen. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The abdomen contains the greater part of the digestive tube; some of the accessory organs to digestion, viz., the liver and pancreas; the spleen, the kidneys, and the suprarenal glands. The parietal portion is loosely connected with the fascial lining of the abdomen and pelvis, but is more closely adherent to the under surface of the diaphragm, and also in the middle line of the abdomen. On the lateral pelvic wall behind the attachment of the broad ligament, in the angle between the elevations produced by the diverging hypogastric and external iliac vessels is a slight fossa, the ovarian fossa, in which the ovary normally lies. www.bartleby.com /107/246.html   (5475 words)

Riddle of Humanity: Lecture Five When we observe the human being who stands in the moral sphere, you will be especially reminded of what we said yesterday — that the Greeks felt and experienced the relationship between the physical and the soul-spiritual more strongly than is the case today. The wise human being — wise in the sense implied by strength of heart — is the one who possesses moral ideas, ideas he can grasp and according to which he is able to direct his life. Human desires are aroused in the abdomen, and the temperate person is the one who is able to rule over his desires by thinking about them, feeling his way into them and consciously experiencing them. wn.rsarchive.org /Lectures/RiddHuman/19160806p01.html   (4311 words)

The Cat Rules List, Part 4 If your humans have the gall to "discipline" you with a squirt bottle, the proper strategy is to abscond with the offending item when no one is looking, and hide it behind the couch or at the back of the most cluttered closet. If the human is being stubborn, you may have to resort to more drastic tactics, such as ripping down posters, rattling blinds, knocking over and looting a wastebasket, knocking items off the dresser, singing at the top of your voice, or even curling up on the human's head (often the only visible part). Humans exercise very poor judgment in entertaining themselves, for example, in the amount of time they spend watching that inexplicable object, the television. www.badpets.net /BadPets/CatRules/CatRules4.html   (3227 words)

Abdomen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The abdomen is a part of the body. Unlike other Arthropods, insects possess no legs on the abdomen in adult form, though the Protura do have rudimentary leg-like appendages on the first three abdominal segments, and Archaeognatha possess small, articulated "styli" which are sometimes considered to be rudimentary appendages. Many larval insects including the Lepidoptera and the Symphyta (Sawflies) have fleshy appendages called prolegs on their abdominal segments (as well as their more familiar thoracic legs), which allow them to grip onto the edges of plant leaves as they walk around. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Abdomen   (432 words)

Cardoso, S.H.: A Virtual Human The Center for Human Simulation, a renowned research center which develops advanced research projects on computerized anatomical visualization at the University of Colorado (USA), was contracted to do the systematic work of selecting among the more than two thousand cadavers donated to the Project. A good example is the Digital Humans CD, on which the user can "click" his mouse on any part of the Visible Human and visualize the specific section, and also make a comparison between the anatomical section and the radiological one. In Brazil, the first project using the Human Visible image database was the Center for Biomedical Informatics (UNICAMP), through its bilingual journal Cérebro and Mente/ Brain and Mind, a neurosciences eletronic journal, which in one of its sections presents brain and its structures anatomical reconstructions. www.informaticamedica.org.br /intermedic/n0101/visible/visible_e.htm   (1258 words)

human_anatomy Human Anatomy is a time-consuming and intensive course requiring a lot of conceptualization, visualization, physical labor, and memorization. We get an opportunity to carefully dissect four cadavers from toes to brains, observing the complexity, the variation between people, the pathologies, and sometimes the causes of death. People take this class because they are motivated to learn about the body, and are highly interested in human anatomy. faculty.simpson.edu /jeff.parmelee/www/human_anatomy.html   (275 words)

Virtual reality tool quantifies physics of a doctor's touch With this "Virtual Human Model for Medical Applications," physicians will wear a customized virtual-reality glove during the patient examination that collects data on what the physician is feeling through sensors located in the glove's fingertips. Mayrose and medical professionals in the UB departments of Emergency Medicine and Radiology are conducting studies of the glove with human subjects at the Erie County Medical Center. The UB research group is modeling on the computer the soft tissue and organs of the human abdomen, using atomic-unit-type modeling that breaks up human tissues into pieces measuring no more than 8mm. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2000-05/UaB-Vrtq-3005100.php   (1187 words)
