*Jugulum (vel Jugulus) signifies the fore part of the throat. Guttur is more general than Jugulum, and denotes both the outside and the inside of the throat. It is said to come from Gutta, because whatever liquor is drank passes through it drop by drop. Larynx indicates the upper and anterior part of the neck; Jugulus rather the lower and anterior part.

† Cervices is elegantly used for Cervix. "Abscindere cervicibus caput."-Cicero; "To cut off the head from the shoulders." The same author also uses Cervix: "Impendet cervici gladius."

Nucha is from the Arabic, and signifies medulla spinalis, and emphatically its origin and commencement, to which part of the organ the term is applied, in the technical language of the day.— Good's Nosology.

Nares is by far a more general and elegant term in medicine than nasus, which is confined to the mere external feature (Hora Subseciva.)

*From abdo, to hide, because it hides the viscera. "Abdomen," is very improperly used, although by reputedly good authors, to signify the cavity of the belly; it is evident from its etymology as well as from its employment, that it should be confined to the parietes. (Hora Subseciva.)

+ The abdomen is divided by anatomists into three zones or regions:

1. The epigastric.

2. The umbilical.
3. The hypogastric.

Each zone is subdivided into three minor regions: the epigastric into the scrobiculus cordis or epigastrium, and the two hypochondriac regions; the umbilical into the umbilicus, and the two lumbar regions; and the hypogastric into the hypogastrium or pubic portion, and the two iliac regions or flanks at the sides. The rela tive positions of these parts are shown by the following diagram:
