Aorta
The aorta (aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).
See Ostium and Aorta
Aortic valve
The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
Coronary arteries
The coronary arteries are the arterial blood vessels of coronary circulation, which transport oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
See Ostium and Coronary arteries
Fallopian tube
The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, oviducts or salpinges (salpinx), are paired tubes in the human female body that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus.
Foramen
In anatomy and osteology, a foramen (foramina, or foramens) is an opening or enclosed gap within the dense connective tissue (bones and deep fasciae) of extant and extinct amniote animals, typically to allow passage of nerves, arteries, veins or other soft tissue structures (e.g. muscle tendon) from one body compartment to another.
Foramen ovale (heart)
In the fetal heart, the foramen ovale, also foramen Botalli or the ostium secundum of Born, allows blood to enter the left atrium from the right atrium.
See Ostium and Foramen ovale (heart)
Human nose
The human nose is the first organ of the respiratory system.
Lepidoptera genitalia
The study of the genitalia of Lepidoptera is important for Lepidoptera taxonomy in addition to development, anatomy and natural history.
See Ostium and Lepidoptera genitalia
Maxillary hiatus
The maxillary hiatus (also known as maxillary sinus ostium, maxillary ostium, or opening from the maxillary sinus) is the opening of a maxillary sinus into the middle nasal meatus of the nasal cavity.
See Ostium and Maxillary hiatus
Ostia
Ostia may refer to.
See Ostium and Ostia
Ostiole
An ostiole is a small hole or opening through which algae or fungi release their mature spores.
Pore
Pore may refer to.
See Ostium and Pore
Primary interatrial foramen
In the developing heart, the atria are initially open to each other, with the opening known as the primary interatrial foramen or ostium primum (or interatrial foramen primum).
See Ostium and Primary interatrial foramen
Sponge
Sponges (also known as sea sponges), the members of the phylum Porifera (meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts.
Vagina
In mammals and other animals, the vagina (vaginas or vaginae) is the elastic, muscular reproductive organ of the female genital tract.
