| circumventricular organs | Four small areas in or near the base of the brain that have fenestrated capillaries and are outside the blood-brain barrier. They are neurohypophysis, area postrema, organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis and subfornical organ (SFO). The neurohypophysis is a neurohemal organ. The other three are chemoreceptors: area postrema triggers vomiting in response to chemical changes in plasma, organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis senses osmolality and alters vasopressin secretion and SFO initiates drinking in response to angiotensin II.

| sense organs | The organs of special sense, including the eye, ear, olfactory organ, taste organs, and the accessory structures associated with these organs. Synonym: organa sensuum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurohemal organs | Brain areas from which substances enter blood e.g., the neurohypophysis from which oxytocin and vasopressin enter blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supernumerary organs | Organ's exceeding the normal number, which may develop from multiple foci of organization in an organ-formative field larger (originally) than that of the definitive main organ; such organ's are aberrant but frequently not a cause of disease; illness may persist if they are left in the body after therapeutic removal of the main organ, e.g., accessory spleen. Synonym: accessory organs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organs of Zuckerkandl | Small masses of chromaffin cells found near the sympathetic ganglia along the abdominal aorta. They serve as chemoreceptors responsive to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ion concentration, and help to control respiration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary organs | Organs involved with the formation, storage, and excretion of urine. Synonym: organa urinaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymph nodes of abdominal organs | The numerous lymph nodes receiving lymph from abdominal organs located in association with the visceral branches of the aorta. Synonym: nodi lymphatici abdominis viscerales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign mesothelioma of genital tract | A small, circumscribed, benign tumour of the genital tract, composed of small glandlike spaces lined by flattened or cuboidal mesothelium-like cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genital | <anatomy> Pertaining to the genitalia. Origin: L. Genitalis = belonging to birth (18 Nov 1997) |
| genital branch of genitofemoral nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of genitofemoral nerve distributed to skin of anterior scrotum (male) or labia majora (female) and adjacent thigh and supplying a motor branch to the cremaster muscle. Usually passes through deep inguinal ring and canal. Synonym: ramus genitalis nervi genitofemoralis, external spermatic nerve, nervus spermaticus externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital branch of iliohypogastric nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Distribution, skin on pubis. Synonym: ramus cutaneus anterior nervi iliohypogastrici, genital branch of iliohypogastric nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital cord | One of a pair of mesenchymal ridges bulging into the caudal part of the celom of a young embryo and containing the mesonephric and paramesonephric duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital corpuscles | Special encapsulated nerve endings found in the skin of the genitalia and nipple. Synonym: corpuscula genitalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital duct | The genital passages of the urogenital apparatus. Synonym: genital duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital eminence | In very young embryos, the vaguely outlined median elevation immediately cephalic to the proctodeum; its central part develops into the genital tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
