"2005, NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick ran a Pelon Pelo Rico car in the Telcel-Motorola México 200. Harvick placed second, losing to Martin Truex Jr., in the Mexico City race. Pelon Pelo Rico The treat's name loosely translates in English to ""Yummy-Hair Baldie"", because the candy is squeezed out of a tube through a grate, producing a Medusa-like effect. Pelon Pelo Rico is inexpensive, being sold for approximately US$0.50 at corner stores, and is commonly found in Mexican-owned stores and markets. It is enjoyed both in Mexico and the U.S. Pelon Pelo Rico has been implicated in the ongoing controversy in"
"Neck The neck is the part of the body, on many vertebrates, that separates the head from the torso. It contains blood vessels and nerves that supply structures in the head to the body. These in humans include part of the esophagus, the larynx, trachea, and thyroid gland, major blood vessels including the carotid arteries and jugular veins, and the top part of the spinal cord. In anatomy, the neck is also called by its Latin names, cervix or collum, although when used alone, in context, the word ""cervix"" more often refers to the uterine cervix, the neck of the"

"Pelvis The pelvis (plural pelves or pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk of the human body between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton). The pelvic region of the trunk includes the bony pelvis, the pelvic cavity (the space enclosed by the bony pelvis), the pelvic floor, below the pelvic cavity, and the perineum, below the pelvic floor. The pelvic skeleton is formed in the area of the back, by the sacrum and the coccyx and anteriorly"
"Cortex (anatomy) In anatomy and zoology, the cortex (Latin for bark, rind, shell or husk) is the outermost (or superficial) layer of an organ. Organs with well-defined cortical layers include kidneys, adrenal glands, ovaries, the thymus, and portions of the brain, including the cerebral cortex, the best-known of all cortices. The cerebral cortex is typically described as comprising three parts: the sensory, motor, and association areas. These sensory areas receive and process information from the senses. The senses of vision, audition, and touch are served by the primary visual cortex, primary auditory cortex and primary somatosensory cortex. The cerebellar cortex"
"of the nominative singular of the noun ""ile"". Ile in classical Latin can refer to the ""flank of the body"", or to the ""groin"", or the ""part of the abdomen from the lowest ribs to the pubes"". Ile is usually encountered as plural (""ilia"") in classical Latin. The ""os ilium"" can literally be translated as ""bone"" (Latin: ""os"" ) ""of the flanks"". More than a millennium earlier the ""ossa ilium"" were described by the Greek physician Galen, and referred to as, with a quite similar expression, τά πλατέα λαγόνων ὀστᾶ, ""the flat bones of the flanks"", with λαγών for ""flank""."

The somatosensory cortex can be illustrated as a distorted figure – the homunculus (Latin: ""little man""), in which the body parts are rendered according to how much of the somatosensory cortex is devoted to them. The superior parietal lobule and inferior parietal lobule are the primary areas of body or spacial awareness. A lesion commonly in the right superior or inferior parietal lobule leads to hemineglect. The name comes from the parietal bone, which is named from the Latin ""paries-,"" meaning"

Anatomists divide the lower limb into the thigh (the part of the limb between the hip and the knee) and the leg (which refers only to the area of the limb between the knee and the ankle). The thigh is the femur and the femoral region. The kneecap is the patella and patellar while the back of the knee is the popliteus and popliteal area."
"Torso The torso or trunk is an anatomical term for the central part or core of many animal bodies (including humans) from which extend the neck and limbs. The torso includes: the chest, abdomen, and back. Most critical organs are housed within the torso. In the upper chest, the heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage, and the abdomen contains most of the organs responsible for digestion: the stomach, which breaks down partially digested food via gastric acid; the liver, which respectively produces bile necessary for digestion; the large and small intestines, which extract nutrients from food; the"

Just like in Argentina, and depending on the region, Colombian asado and ""picada"" involve many offal types, including ""chunchullo"" (chitterlings), chicken hearts, and ""bofe"" (beef lung). ""Pelanga"" is a dish from the departments of Cundinamarca and Boyaca that contains beef or pork snout (""jeta""), trachea, tongue, and ears. ""Pepitoria"" is a dish in the department of Santander that involves offal from billy goats (kidney, liver, heart). In Peru and Bolivia, beef heart is"
"Temple (anatomy) The temple indicates the side of the head behind the eye between the forehead and the ear. The bone beneath is the temporal bone as well as part of the sphenoid bone. Cladists classify land vertebrates based on the presence of an upper hole, a lower hole, both, or neither in the cover of dermal bone that formerly covered the temporalis muscle, whose origin is the temple and whose insertion is the jaw. The brain has a lobe called the temporal lobe. The word ""templar"" as used in anatomy has a separate etymology from the word ""temple"", meaning"

The lower much thinner part is the rostrum and is connected below with the lamina terminalis, which stretches from the interventricular foramina to the recess at the base of the optic stalk. The rostrum is named for its resemblance to a bird's beak. The end part of the corpus callosum, towards the cerebellum, is called the splenium. This is the thickest part, and overlaps the tela choroidea of the third ventricle and the midbrain, and ends in a"

A coelom is, however, formed around the gonads and the waste-eliminating nephridia. As the name ""haemocoel"" suggests, the body cavity is filled with a blood-like liquid in which all the organs are"
"Pes (anatomy) The pes (Latin for ""foot"") is the zoological term for the distal portion of the hind limb of tetrapod animals. It is the part of the pentadactyl limb that includes the metatarsals and digits (phalanges). During evolution, it has taken many forms and served a variety of functions. It can be represented by the foot of primates, the lower hind limb of hoofed animals, the lower portion of the leg of birds and dinosaurs or the rear paw. It is also represented in the rear 'paddle' of extinct marine reptiles, such as plesiosaurs. The oldest types of tetrapods"
"Core (anatomy) In common parlance, the core of the body is broadly considered to be the torso. Functional movements are highly dependent on this part of the body, and lack of core muscular development can result in a predisposition to injury. The major muscles of the core reside in the area of the belly and the mid and lower back (not the shoulders), and peripherally include the hips, the shoulders and the neck. Major muscles included are the pelvic floor muscles, transversus abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, erector spinae (sacrospinalis) especially the longissimus thoracis, and the diaphragm."
"Parietal lobe The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The parietal lobe is positioned above the temporal lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information among various modalities, including spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch (mechanoreception) in the somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the postcentral gyrus, and the dorsal stream of the visual system. The major sensory inputs from the skin (touch, temperature, and pain receptors),"
"Tectum The tectum (Latin: ""roof"") is a region of the brain, specifically the dorsal (top) part of the midbrain (mesencephalon). The position of the tectum is contrasted with the tegmentum, which refers to the region ventral (lower) to the ventricular system. The tectum is responsible for auditory and visual reflexes. The optic tectum projects through the reticular formation and interacts with motor neurons in the brain stem. These connections are important for the recognition and reaction to various sized objects which is facilitated by excitatory optic nerve transmitters like L-glutamate. Recent lesion studies have suggested that the tectum has no"

Often, close to the hip-socket the lower edge of the outer face of the postacetabular process is positioned higher than the edge of the brevis shelf, exposing the latter in side view. The 'English' name ""ilium"" as bone of the ""pelvis"" can be traced back to the writings of anatomists Andreas Vesalius, whom coined the expression ""os ilium"". In this expression ""ilium"" can be considered as the genitive plural"

The pylorus is considered as having two parts, the ""pyloric antrum"" (opening to the body of the stomach) and the ""pyloric canal"" (opening to the duodenum). The ""pyloric canal"" ends as the ""pyloric orifice"", which marks the junction between the stomach and the duodenum. The orifice is surrounded by a sphincter, a band of muscle, called the ""pyloric sphincter"". The word ""pylorus"" comes from Greek πυλωρός, via Latin.

In angiosperms (flowering plants), the term ""locule"" usually refers to a chamber within an ovary (gynoecium or carpel) of the flower and fruits. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruits can be classified as ""uni-locular"" (unilocular), ""bi-locular"", ""tri-locular"" or ""multi-locular"". The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels. The locules contain the ovules or"

Neuropil has been found in the following regions: outer neocortex layer, barrel cortex, inner plexiform layer and outer plexiform layer, posterior pituitary, and glomeruli of the cerebellum. These are all found in humans, with the exception of the barrel cortex, but many species have counterparts similar to our own regions of neuropil. However, the degree of similarity depends upon the composition of neuropil being compared. The concentrations of neuropil within certain regions are important to"
"Soft palate The soft palate (also known as the velum, palatal velum, or muscular palate) is, in mammals, the soft tissue constituting the back of the roof of the mouth. The soft palate is part of the palate of the mouth; the other part is the hard palate. The soft palate is distinguished from the hard palate at the front of the mouth in that it does not contain bone. The five muscles of the soft palate play important roles in swallowing and breathing. The muscles are: These muscles are innervated by the pharyngeal plexus via the vagus nerve, with"
