Varicose Veins

electrocardiogram
ECG/EKG measures heart rythm

Mucosa
The mucosa is the innermost layer of the canal wall. It is made mostly of epithelial tissue that secretes enzymes and mucus into the lumen, or passageway, of the canal. This layer also is active in absorbing nutrients.
Effacement
The cervix thins and softens dilating to approximately 10 cm
Labia majora
Rounded folds of adipose tissue and skin that protect the other external female reproductive organs
Nuchal cord
Umbilical cord around the fetal neck
spermicide
Agent that destroys sperm
Corpora
Columns of erectile tissues found in the penis
Submucosa
The submucosa is the layer just outside the mucosa. It contains loose connective tissue, blood vessels, glands, and nerves.
The blood vessels in this layer carry absorbed nutrients throughout the body.
Muscular layer
This layer lies between the submucosa and the canal’s outermost layer. It is made of layers of smooth muscle tissue and contracts to move materials through the canal.
Serosa
The serosa is the double-walled, outermost layer of the canal and is also known as the peritoneum. The innermost wall of the serosa is known as the visceral peritoneum. It secretes serous fluid to keep the outside of the canal moist, preventing it from sticking to other organs or to its outer layer, the parietal peritoneum, also called the abdominal lining.
Postmortem
In the cause of death is uncertain or a crime is suspected, an autopsy (postmortem) is performed.
