Skin (cutis), which forms the general covering of the human body (integumentum commune), directly in contact with the external environment, performs a number of functions. It protects the body from external influences, including mechanical ones, it participates in the thermoregulation of the body and in metabolic processes, it emits sweat, sebum, performs respiratory function, contains energy reserves (subcutaneous fat).
The lateral ventricle (ventriculus lateralis) is located in the thickness of the cerebral hemisphere. There are two lateral ventricles: the left (first), corresponding to the left hemisphere, and the right (second), located in the right hemisphere of the large brain.
The larynx performs respiratory and voice-forming functions, it protects the lower respiratory tract from the ingress of foreign particles into them. The larynx resembles an irregularly shaped tube, widened at the top and narrowed at the bottom.
The large pectoral muscle (m. Pectoralis major) is massive, fan-shaped, occupying a considerable part of the anterior wall of the thoracic cavity.
Large labia majora (labia majora pudendi) are a pair of skin folds, elastic, 7-8 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. They confine to the side-slit (rima pudendi).
The large adductor muscle (m.adductor magnus) is thick, triangular in shape. It begins on the sciatic hillock, the branch of the ischium and on the lower branch of the pubic bone. It is attached throughout the medial lip of the rough line. It is located behind the short and long conducting muscles. Behind her are the tendon, semimembrane muscles and the long head of the biceps femoris.
Language (lingua) participates in the mechanical processing of food, in the act of swallowing, in taste perception, in the articulation of speech. The tongue is located in the oral cavity. It is a flattened, flattened muscular organ. The tongue tapers in front, forming the apex of the tongue (apex linguae). The apex of the back passes into the broad and thick body of the tongue (corpus linguae), behind which lies the root of the tongue (radix linguae).
The lacrimal gland (glandula lacrimalis) is a complex alveolar-tubular gland of the lobate structure, lies in the epithelial pit in the lateral corner, in the upper wall of the orbit.
The lacrimal bone (os lacrimale) is paired, forming the anterior part of the medial wall of the orbit. From below and from the front it is connected with the frontal process of the upper jaw, at the back - with the orbital plate of the latticed bone.
