Innominate

Innominate is a term used in anatomy to refer to parts of the body that do not have a specific name. The term is derived from the Latin word 'innominatus' which means 'unnamed'. The most common use of the term is in reference to the innominate artery and the innominate bone.

Innominate Artery

The Innominate artery (or brachiocephalic artery) is a major blood vessel in the upper body. It is the first and largest branch of the aorta, the main artery of the body. The innominate artery carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the right side of the neck and head, and to the right arm.

Innominate Bone

The Innominate bone (or hip bone) is a large, flat bone that forms part of the pelvis. It is formed by the fusion of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. The innominate bone plays a crucial role in supporting the weight of the body and in locomotion.
