Body Parts Beginning With B (And Their Properties)
- Brain: The primary organ of the central nervous system, responsible for processing sensory information, regulating body functions, and cognitive abilities.
- Bladder: A muscular sac in the pelvis, storing urine from the kidneys before disposal.
- Bronchi: The main passageways into the lungs, branching from the trachea and allowing air to reach the lung tissue.
- Biceps: A large muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow.
- Brow: The area of the face above the eyes; often involved in facial expressions.
- Bile Duct: A tube that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine.
- Basilic Vein: A large vein located in the upper limb, commonly used for intravenous access or blood draw.
- Buccal Cavity: The mouth’s interior, including the cheeks, gums, and teeth.
- Ball of the Foot: The padded area of the foot just behind the toes.
- Belly Button (Navel): The scar on the abdomen where the umbilical cord was attached.
- Buttocks: The rounded portions of the anatomy located on the posterior of the pelvic region.
- Bile: A digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
- Bicuspid Valve (Mitral Valve): A valve in the heart that lets blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
- Biceps Femoris: A muscle of the thigh, part of the hamstrings group, involved in knee flexion.
- Brachial Artery: The major blood vessel of the upper arm.
- Bulb of the Penis: The root part of the penis, which connects to the pelvic bone.
- Brachial Plexus: A network of nerves that conducts signals from the spine to the arm and hand.
- Buccal Mucosa: The lining of the inside of the cheeks.
- Bone Marrow: Soft tissue inside bones, producing blood cells.
- Breastbone (Sternum): A long flat bone located in the center of the chest.
- Bronchioles: Small branches of the bronchi that lead to the alveoli in the lungs.
- Biceps Brachii: A muscle in the upper arm that flexes the forearm.
- Bartholin’s Glands: Glands located near the vaginal opening in females, secreting lubricating fluid.
- Bursa: A small fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between bones and tissues.
- Brachialis Muscle: A muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow.
- Bulbar Conjunctiva: A thin layer of tissue covering the white part of the eye.
- Buccinator Muscle: A facial muscle that compresses the cheek.
- Bony Orbit: The bony cavity containing the eyeball.
- Brachiocephalic Artery: A major blood vessel of the circulatory system, supplying blood to the head, neck, and arms.
- Basal Ganglia: A group of structures linked to the thalamus in the base of the brain, involved in coordination of movement.
- Buccal Fat Pad: Fat tissue located in the cheeks.
- Biceps Tendon: The tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the bones of the shoulder and elbow.
- Bilateral Nares (Nostrils): The two openings of the nose.
- Buccal Nerve: A nerve that provides sensory innervation to the cheek.
- Bronchial Tubes: Tubes that carry air from the trachea to the lungs.
- Brachioradialis Muscle: A muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.
- Buccal Glands: Salivary glands located inside the mouth.
- Blood Vessels: Tubular structures carrying blood through the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- Bipolar Cells (Eye): Cells in the retina that play a role in visual processing.
- Bulbospongiosus Muscle: A muscle of the urogenital triangle in both sexes.
- Bulbar Urethra: The part of the urethra closest to the bladder.
- Basilar Artery: An artery supplying blood to the brain.
- Bones of the Hand: The 27 bones forming the human hand, including carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
- Bones of the Foot: The 26 bones forming the human foot, including tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
- Brachial Vein: A vein accompanying the brachial artery, draining blood from the upper limb.
