Hello, I hope you all know something about science, because I have an interesting contest for you!
For anyone who can guess the scientific term I describe, I will donate 5 frih$. It may not sound like a lot, but I plan to do many terms here, so it adds up for me!
The first definition is:
"The paired cavities containing each eye."
A bit easy I know, but it's a start. Once again, NO CHEATING!!

Umm... eye sockets? Or did you mean more technical than that?

| Umm... eye sockets? Or did you mean more technical than that? |
Yes, I meant more technical than that. As in "The ________ Cavities"Not quite, it does start with an "O" though.
| n0obie4life wrote: |
| Olfaction, olfactory. |
The olfactory is the 1st cranial nerve, responsible for the sense of smell.is it " Nasal Cavity" ? no, its the nose part
or is it "Ethmoid cavity" ?
well i dont know either, or is it?
eyeBALLS, ergo ORBital cavities.

YES!!! Orbital is the answer! You are on a roll today!Okay, the next one is:
"The study and practice of treating tumors."
Hint: Also begins with an "O"
| Traveller wrote: |
| Oncology |
Correct! Again!!
Next definition:
"A prefix denoting the jaw."
Hopefully at least a little bit trickier.
If not, I'll have to ditch Anatomical terms for a while 
.Hmmm...perhaps a little more specific? If I'm in the right ballpark, lower would be "mandibula(r)" and upper would be "maxilla(r)."
| Traveller wrote: |
| Hmmm...perhaps a little more specific? If I'm in the right ballpark, lower would be "mandibula(r)" and upper would be "maxilla(r)." |
Not quite, just the jaw in general. It starts with a "G."
Example:
"G____oplasty: Plastic surgery of the jaw." | bladesage wrote: |
| "G____oplasty: Plastic surgery of the jaw." |
Hmmm. Not sure about plastic surgery. "Maxillofacial" surgery is what really comes to mind. I think you've got me on this one. | Traveller wrote: |

Well, that one wasn't quite fair. I looked it up at random in a medical dictionary. It was "Gnath-", I'll just do a different one. It doesn't seem fair to make you guess it.
Next:
"A temporary incision or excision into the female Perineum."I can think of no reply to that that's clean..... 
| bladesage wrote: |
| I'll just do a different one. It doesn't seem fair to make you guess it. |
Even though I happened to get the first couple of them, other people may still be playing. Please don't toss it out THAT quickly! LOL!
| bladesage wrote: |
| "A temporary incision or excision into the female Perineum." |
Not a clue, here. Now you've moved into terms that are more specialized and less likely to be known or deduced by someone outside the specific field. Again, though, don't just bag it quite yet. Give people a little time.Is it urethrotomy or urethrostomy?
This one begins with an "E" and ends with the suffix "-otomy"
Oh, I learn that in Biology last year, I think it called a Epesiotomy something like that, I can't remember how to spell it.
| alkady wrote: |

Yes (besides the spelling), Episiotomy is correct!
Next:
"The microscopic differences between any given fingerprint and its typical type."
(Forensics this time)whats it start wuith?? a clue it is pretty hard.
| RaMo wrote: |
| whats it start wuith?? a clue it is pretty hard. |
It begins with an "M" this time.It's probably "micro"-something, and a difference is often called a "delta," so my guess is microdeltas.
| Traveller wrote: |

Not quite...let me know when to give out the answer.its those little lines on ur finger... but what are they called 
| RaMo wrote: |
| its those little lines on ur finger... but what are they called |
They're called ridges, but that's not the answer.Microridges ?? lol Well, like I said, let me know when to give away the answer...
Last hint: Tiny, microscopic differences. The keyword here is minute. That in itself isn't the answer, but it's a good hint.

Whatever. The word was "minutiae" [min-oo-shuh]
Next word is:
"The phylum that humans, and most other vertebrates, belong to."Phylum: Chordata
Sub Phylum: Vertrebrata
Yes!
Next term:
"The tissue (full name) that supports the skin."
Hint: 3 words
Is it the Dermis?
the epidermis is the top most layer below which you can find the dermis below which the adipose tissue is found..
| scorpio wrote: |

Well, I'm not talking about layers of skin, I'm talking about the actual scientific name of the general epithealial tissue that supports the bottom-most layer of the skin. It's three words.

"-lessness"I guess thats right 
Hint #2: Commonly associated with the prefix "leuk-"
YES!!
Next:
"The major veins leading to the arms."
Hint: Begins with an "S" | scorpio wrote: |
| Superior vena cava |
Not quite, that's the one that leads upward directly out of the heart. It connects through another vein to the correct one, though.
Sorry, but NO!! the suffix "-emia" or "-aeima" means "pertaining to blood," and is from the Greek, "haima" which means "blood." That is why someone who has "anemia" appears to be "without blood" ("an" = a prefix for "without").
The reason why the suffix "-emia" is associate with the prefix "leuk-" is because "leuk" means "white" (from the Greek, "leukos"), and because the condition known as "leukemia" is an abnormality of the white ("leuk-") blood ("-emia") cells. | bladesage wrote: |

Hmmm...First off: there are NO veins that lead TO the arms. The veins lead AWAY from the arms (or wherever) and to the heart. So, this could be a trick question.
Then again, since the major veins of the arm are the brachial, cephalic, and basilic, (which empty into the axillary which, only then, leads to the subclavian), it could be just an improperly researched question. | Traveller wrote: |

I am inclined to agree with you..
He gave the point that it is a suffix of leuk---
emia is probably the only one fitting the cue.
The next one, I found was indeed tricky.
What you say is right.
But i imagined that his question was worded wrongly. | scorpio wrote: |
| I am inclined to agree with you.. |
Thanks. I was hoping neither of you would take it the wrong way. By no means do I claim to be an expert on these things, but we just happened to hit a couple that I knew and could support.
In all fairness: after posting, I did some looking around, and found http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Circulation.html, which shows a picture that makes it look as though the subclavian vein goes to the arm. The point at which the label line connects with the vein in the diagram IS the subclavian vein, but the diagram does not show the further division, where the arm veins join the axillary (i.e. "underarm") vein, which then joins the subclavian (i.e. "under-the-collarbone") vein. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subclavian_vein) gives more-detailed information.He asked which was the most important vein.
Since the brachial and other veins branch out from the sub clavian(indirectly) i think that would be the best answer.
Though my knowledge of biology is virtually nil.
I just try and remember what i learnt
| scorpio wrote: |

Actually, his exact statement was, "The major veins leading to the arms," so I guess you're right, there, although we still have the problem that all veins lead TO the heart, since they carry the "used" blood back so it can be given more oxygen. Still, that's just a matter of semantics and, in a more general sense, one could say that the subclavian lead "to" the arms. | Traveller wrote: |

There, in plain English.Just because the veins' function is to return blood to the heart, doesn't mean that they don't go into their particular body part to get it.
| bladesage wrote: |

Errr. Was my answer right? | scorpio wrote: |
| subclavian veins |
Yes, that's right! Sorry, I didn't even notice it there.
Next:
"The rarest blood type."
This is a small combination of Anatomy and Forensics, and a pretty easy one.
Hint: I'm of course refering to ABO blood-typingIf it is the ABO Blood group system, Is it the B allele.?
Or the AB Negative blood group?
| scorpio wrote: |
If it is the ABO Blood group system, Is it the B allele.?
Or the AB Negative blood group? |
Yes, it's AB-
(Because it's two dominant genes. O+ is the most common, although it's a recesseive gene. Anyting negative is more rare than anything positive, because almost everyone has the "D atibodies")
Next:
"The phylum that all jellyfish, coral, and sea anemones belong to."Cnidaria I think..
Happened to read it 2 years ago.
| scorpio wrote: |
Cnidaria I think..

Yes, correct!
All Medusa and Polyps come from the phylum Cnidaria. Medusa are mostly jellyfish, and polyps are coral, and sea anemones.
Next:
"The scientific term for the umbilical cord."
Yes, allontois is correct!
Next:
"The organ in the body, whose purpose is absolutely nothing (scientific name)."
Hint: Begins with a "C" cervix maybe(im probably wrong)
| thpn wrote: |
| how about the coccyx? |
That's a bone, but keep trying!
Hint: Another word for appendix
You may have figured out that part already.caecum? Actually, I think the appendix comes FROM the caecum, but that's the closest I can come.
| Traveller wrote: |

Correct! And, an excellent point. Sorry about that, I entirely overlooked that fact.
Next:
"The system of the body, that's purpose is to mainly produce certain leukocytes, help filter out the blood, and store the vicious blasts."Hmmm...Overall, the hemal system, but more specifically, some may be from the lymphatic system. Not sure of any more detail than that.
yes it would be the lymphatic system but more specifically it deals with the kidney and the actual lymphocytes that would filter the blood.
sorry for the double but the cecum is part of the small intestines and is about 1.5 is not the appendix.
The appendix(or vermiform appendix) is about 10cm in length branching off the cecum.
| Wikipedia wrote: |
| In human anatomy, the vermiform appendix (or appendix, pl. appendixes or "appendices") is a blind ended tube connected to the cecum ('caecum' in British English). It develops embryologically from the cecum. |

I could care less what Wikipedia says. My Anatomy teacher said several times, that the cecum is another name for the appendix. It's quite simply the direct result of the small intestine connecting to the illium. It connects overlapping the illium's entrance at one end, producing a hollow bulb at the merging site. It sometimes gets filled with feces, and risks bursting.
But lymphatic system is the answer to the last one.
Next:
"The name given to the young, premature erythrocytes, prior to their further development and maturing."
Hint: Begins with an "R"bladesage if you read the wikipedia thing u would under stand that ur teacher is generalizing and that technically the appendix is grown off of the cecum there for part of it but scientifically the cecum is still one part but what do i know being in ap biology and anatomy and phisology and what not
im might become noobie4life if i aint careful "got posts!"
| DeFwh wrote: |

Agreed. That's why, when I entered my guess, I said, "the appendix comes FROM the caecum." Likewise, I suspect that an investigation of our earlier discussion of "-emia" would reveal that the meaning "suffix denoting a lack or shortage of" probably has developed from relatively recent usage, and has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the suffix. I have not been able to find any other references to that definition, nor any concrete examples. Of course, for the purposes of this game, I will accept that definition, but I doubt that it would be very frequently encountered versus the standard, Greek-derived definition. | scorpio wrote: |
| Reticulocytes |
Yes, that's exactly correct!
Next:
"The tissue that supports inner organs, similar in consistency to the elastic tissue supporting the ear."
Hint: It's NOT adipose.
As far as the whole cecum thing, let's just forget it. I just don't like Wikipedia at all. Besides, we were all correct in a certain aspect.Possibly cartilage? That's not too scientific of an answer so it's probally wrong, but at least I tried!
Either tha cartilage(as thpn said) or the epithelial tissue>>>>>
| scorpio wrote: |
| Either tha cartilage(as thpn said) or the epithelial tissue>>>>> |
Epithelial is a group of tissues. The one I'm looking for is a connective tissue.
Hint: Begins with an "H"Well, since nobody's gotten this one, I'm giving out the answer.
Hyaline.
Next:
"A prefix denoting the nose."
Hint: Not "naso-"
Yes, rhino- is the answer!
Example: Rhinoplasty; a plastic surgery of the nose.
Next one:
"The older Air Force term for navigating through the world."
Hint: I believe this term was created in the late 1800's-early 1900's era.
Don't know for sure, since I lost the book a few years back. | bladesage wrote: |

Well, if it was from the Air Force, it could not have been before the 1903 invention of the airplane nor the 1907 creation of the first predecessor to the Air Force (which, itself, was created under that specific name in 1947).
That said, the only term that comes to mind is much older, from seafaring days, and that is "circumnavigation," which is really navigating AROUND the world. | Traveller wrote: |

Yes, that's correct! I found the book, too. I tossed it under my bed, it's SOOO boring. But the time-line is correct. You'd think I would know more about the Air Force, since my dad served in it for 20 years, and never shut up about it (not that I mind).

Not quite, though slightly similar in definition.The only other one that comes to mind is "collagen."
I too thought of that answer, but I still doubt if it was a tissue?
Isnt it something more like collagen fibres or something>?

It begins with a "Q" for once. And it's pretty tough (or it would be to me if it weren't for Anatomy & Physiology ).I think I learned this one in Physiology, it has something to due with a state of Consciouness.
Is it qualia?

Severe nosebleed. There was a vein in my left nostril that was damaged almost all along the length of my nose. They had to cauterize the whole thing. And it sure did burn!
On top of that, we discovered what was causing my nosebleeds in part. Sinus infection, caused sinusitis, and I'm now on antibiotics.
That's the second time I've been to the E.R. for a nosebleed, the first was for the other nostril. It's like the fourth or fifth time I've been to the ER in total (at least for myself, I've been there for relatives countless times). That I can remember, I've gone to the ER for a sencond-degree burn, a seizure or two, and two nosebleeds.
I have so many medical problems it's not even funny anymore. Well, okay, it is kinda funny. I tried making a list once, but my wrists started hurting from my tendonitis .
They kept me there for 4 hours, 3 1/2 of which were spent in the waiting room. So I got home about 12:30 AM (Eastern Time), and when I did, I couldn't sleep until almost 4:00 AM. Since I have a sinus infection, I had to wash and sanitise all my bedding that night, and I still have to do my sheets (they're sewn onto my bed because they always slip off otherwise).
My sinus infection is not contagious, but they don't want it to re-enter my nose after the antibiotics are gone. This is the third time I've been on antibiotics in the past 14 months!
Thanks for the concern,
-Alex (aka bladesage)
