Tree

Tree (medicine)

Tree (pronounced: /tri:/) is a term used in various medical contexts. It is derived from the Old English word 'treow', which means both 'tree' and 'truth'.

Anatomy

In anatomy, the term 'tree' is often used metaphorically to describe structures that branch out like a tree. For example, the bronchial tree refers to the network of bronchi and bronchioles in the lungs. Similarly, the arterial tree and venous tree refer to the system of arteries and veins in the body, respectively.

Pharmacology

In pharmacology, 'tree' can refer to various plants or trees whose parts are used for medicinal purposes. For instance, the bark of the willow tree has been used for centuries to relieve pain and reduce fever. The tea tree, on the other hand, is known for its antiseptic properties.
