✔✔common carotid arteries - ✔✔main arteries that supply blood to the head, face, and
neck.
✔✔common peroneal nerve - ✔✔a division of the sciatic nerve that extends from behind
the knee to wind around the head of the fibula to the front of the leg where it divides into
two branches.
✔✔connective tissue - ✔✔fibrous tissue that binds together, protects, and supports the
various parts of the body. Examples of connective tissue are bone, cartilage, ligaments,
tendons, blood, lymph, and fat.
✔✔corrugator muscle - ✔✔muscle located beneath the frontalis and orbicularis oculi
muscles that draws the eyebrow down and wrinkles the forehead vertically.
✔✔cranium - ✔✔an oval, bony case that protects the brain.
✔✔cytoplasm - ✔✔the protoplasm of a cell; the watery fluid that surrounds the nucleus
of the cell and is needed for growth, reproduction, and self-repair.
✔✔deep peroneal nerve - ✔✔also known as anterior tibial nerve; it extends down the
front of the leg, behind the muscles. It supplies impulses to these muscles and also to
the muscles and skin on the top of the foot and adjacent sides of the first and second
toes.
✔✔deltoid - ✔✔large, triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint that allows the arm
to extend outward and to the side of the body.
✔✔depressor labii inferioris muscle - ✔✔also known as quadratus labii inferioris muscle;
muscle surrounding the lower lip; lowers the lower lip and draws it to one side, as in
expressing sarcasm.
✔✔digestive system - ✔✔also known as gastrointestinal system; the body system that
is responsible for breaking down foods into nutrients and wastes; consists of the mouth,
stomach, intestines, salivary and gastric glands, and other organs.
✔✔digital nerve - ✔✔sensory-motor nerve that , with its branches, supplies impulses to
the fingers.
✔✔dorsal nerve - ✔✔also known as dorsal cutaneous nerve; a nerve that extends up
from the toes and foot, just under the skin, supplying impulses to toes and foot, as well
as the muscles and skin of the leg, where it becomes the superficial peroneal nerve.
, ✔✔dorsalis pedis artery - ✔✔artery that supplies blood to the foot.
✔✔eleventh cranial nerve - ✔✔also known as accessory nerve; a motor nerve that
controls the motion of the neck and shoulder muscles.
✔✔endocrine glands - ✔✔also known as ductless glands; glands such as the thyroid
and pituitary gland that release hormonal secretions directly into the bloodstream.
✔✔endocrine system - ✔✔the body system consisting of a group of specialized glands
that affect the growth, development, sexual functions, and health of the entire body.
✔✔epicranial aponeurosis - ✔✔tendon that connects the occipitalis and frontalis
muscles.
✔✔epicranius - ✔✔also known as occipitofrontalis; the broad muscle that covers the top
of the skull and consists of the occipitalis and frontalis.
✔✔epithelial tissue - ✔✔a protective covering on body surfaces, such as skin, mucous
membranes, the tissue inside the mouth, the lining of the heart, digestive and
respiratory organs, and the glands.
✔✔ethmoid bone - ✔✔light, spongy bone between the eye sockets; forms part of the
nasal cavities.
✔✔exocrine glands - ✔✔also known as duct glands; they produce a substance that
travels through small, tube-like ducts. Sweat glands and oil glands of the skin belong to
this group.
✔✔extensor digitorum longus - ✔✔muscle that bends the foot up and extends the toes.
✔✔extensor hallucis longus - ✔✔muscle that extends the big toe and flexes the foot.
✔✔extensors - ✔✔muscles that straighten the wrist, hand, and fingers to form a straight
line.
✔✔external carotid artery - ✔✔artery that supplies blood to the anterior (front) parts of
the scalp, ear, face, neck, and sides of the head.
✔✔external jugular vein - ✔✔vein located at the side of the neck that carries blood
returning to the heart from the head, face, and neck.
✔✔facial artery - ✔✔also known as external maxillary artery; branch of the external
carotid artery that supplies blood to the lower region of the face, mouth, and nose.
