Heads, shoulders, knees and… tear carcass?
We tend to think that we know everything or almost everything about ourselves. But in the human body there are a huge number of body parts, the name of which we do not even guess. And now you have the opportunity for the first time to call a spade a spade and get to know the nameless parts of yourself.
In addition, you will be able to impress people with your amazing knowledge of anatomy and physiology. And from now on, it will be much easier for you to communicate with doctors (believe me, they also like to call things by their proper names).
Body part named glabella
Many people would do well to thin it out
Well hello, dear reader - meet Glabella! This is the place above the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows. Its name comes from the Latin "glabellus", which means "hairless", but even the most beautiful people on the planet can have problems with the hairiness of this part of the body. But wait... If Frida Kahlo can flaunt a unibrow and still be one of the world's greatest artists, then why should mere mortals care about some "hairy" glabella? Perhaps you just need to invest in good tweezers - and the problem is solved.
By the way, glabella can be useful: if you pinch the skin on it with your fingers and it does not smooth out, this is a sign of dehydration. This simple test could save your life one day.
Filtrum
An angel's fingerprint or just a hollow?
A small hollow under the nose is the “filtrum”, or philtrum. In fairy tales, this is the place of the touch of an angel, erasing the memories of a past life.
In mammals, such as dogs, the philtrum keeps the nose moist, which contributes greatly to any dog's amazing olfactory ability.
In humans, the groove has ceased to perform practical functions, however, it can also help in the diagnosis of diseases: the flattened walls of the groove can indicate alcoholism or Prader-Willi syndrome. A wide filtrum is associated with Down syndrome (most often in boys).
human nostrils
A nostril made up of nostrils - the world will never be the same
Let's focus on the nose area. In fact, each of your nostrils is made up of many small nostrils. The nasal septum, which the “cool” youth loves to pierce so much, has its own wings, which are called “columella nasi”. Now you know everything about your nose.
Hallux
Sounds proud, but means something that brings pain in the night
You still refer to this part of the body as the big toe. Sounds kind of ordinary, don't you think? But they could proudly call him “Hallux”, like some ancient Greek god!
Most likely, you do not remember about its existence until the moment you hit the pieces of furniture, however, it is he who helps you keep your balance and vertical position. The absence of a thumb is a good reason for refusing to serve the Motherland (which is why many "craftsmen" shoot themselves in the foot).
Finger Morton
Even the Statue of Liberty has it. And you?
Continuing the theme of leg riddles, let's talk about what is observed in many people.
Morton's toe is a physiological feature in which the index toe is longer than the big toe. It does not bring any harm to health (apart from problems with the choice of shoes). However, in ancient Greece, such a finger was considered the standard of beauty, and even the Statue of Liberty was created with such a “defect”.
Handful (Gowpen)
An unknown Scandinavian word, the knowledge of which will be useful
Oddly enough, but in Russian there is not even a hint of a similar word. According to encyclopedias, it is read as "gaupen". In fact, this word does not designate a part of the body as such, but designates a function - to carry something in folded palms in such a way that they turn into a vessel (the closest it can be translated as "fold hands like a boat" or "handful").
The etymology of the word itself goes back to the Old Norse gaupn, which means "a hollow made from hands joined together to form the shape of a bowl." Still, the Vikings thought creatively.
Anatomical snuffbox
All literary heroes took a snuff of tobacco from her
Sounds like something from the sexual realm, but it's far from it. The snuffbox is a natural indentation on the outside of the hand, between the thumb and forefinger.
This part of the body got its name due to the fact that it was convenient to sniff tobacco from it. A very pragmatic attitude towards your body.
Frenum
Bridle bridle strife
A simple bridle, but how beautiful it sounds! In fact, there are many bridles on the human body. It is a connective tissue that helps moving parts move in a given area. For example, holding the tongue or upper lip.
As you know, men have another frenulum - on the penis. It can cause problems during intercourse. Also, this place is popular for piercings. Therefore, you should not google the word "bridle" at work if you do not want questions from colleagues or superiors.
Tragus
An incomprehensible part of the body, but it is more interesting with it
Tragus is a small triangular cartilage on the outer ear. With it, you can close the ear canal if you press.
Like the frenulum, this part of the body is popular for body piercing, but its natural function is still unknown. Perhaps it serves to detect the source of the sound.
Lanula
Beautiful name for a tender part of the body
The white crescents at the base of the nail are the "lanula". As expected, they got their name from the Latin "lun", which translates as "moon". In fact, this is the second nail under the first, and very sensitive. Any injury to the lanula entails a lifelong deformation of the nail, so it should be protected like the apple of an eye.
Dimples of Venus
So tasty for many depressions
The dimples of Venus, or simply the dimples on the back, have long been considered a symbol of sexuality and feminine beauty, so it is not surprising that they were named after the Roman goddess of beauty.
There is a common misconception that people with dimples of Venus are more sensual, passionate and reach orgasm faster. There is no scientific evidence for this version.
The bad news for those who want to get those dimples is that they can't be created through diet and exercise. Just genetics and nothing else.
Cantus
Mysterious place with its own name
Cantus is the outer corner of the eye canthus, where the upper and lower eyelids meet. The reason why this place needs a name is a mystery shrouded in darkness.
Lacrimal caruncle (Lacrimal curunculus)
Perhaps the strangest part of the body
Everyone wondered what that ball of flesh was in the inner corner of the eye. And this is precisely it - the lacrimal meat. Thanks to him, we cry, or rather, we bring tears out. Scientists note that the meat is a vestigial part of the so-called "third century" (which can be found even in cats - try to look into their eyes during sleep). For some unknown reason, the human body abandoned them, although most mammals still boast extra eye protection.
Supersternal groove
Another non-sexual but erotic body part
Like the dimples of Venus, the supersternal groove refers to absolutely non-sexual parts of the body, but is considered as such.
Sex aside, this part of the body is a great point to hit when defending against an attack. Which side to look at is up to you.
axilla
armpit vulgaris
Axilla, or simply "armpit" is an important part of the body of any person, no matter how much we sometimes want to get rid of it. Sprays, shaving, even removal of sweat glands - that's what many go to to get rid of the smell of sweat. Meanwhile, it is the glands located in the axillas that transmit information about their owner to the olfactory receptors of potential sexual partners.
Gynecomastia
Not only women have ... breasts
The male breast is a very peculiar part of the body. And for many representatives of the stronger sex, they turn not into steel plates of the torso, but into a kind of female mammary glands. This is possible in adolescence, during the period of hormonal adjustment. Moreover, in adulthood, gynecomastia is also possible - it is observed in bodybuilders who take steroids for too long. The deviation can go away on its own, but most often surgery is needed.
Muscle that lifts the upper lip and wing of the nose (Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi)
Elvis left this world, but his smile remained
The favorite muscle of the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, has received the status of the muscle with the longest name. She is responsible for your ability to be ironic and smile sarcastically. Using it would be great for Draco Malfoy to show his dislike at a Muggle party.
The name of this muscle is translated as "elevator of both edges of the lip and wing of the nose." With the "sarcastic muscle" located on both sides of the mouth, most people can demonstrate irony with only one part of it.
There are still a lot of names in the human body, from which an ordinary person can become ill. However, with this set, you can already pass for an expert in the field of human nature, so keep it for yourself - you won't regret it.
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thanks for that
for discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

The human body is a whole universe with its own laws and secrets, many of which we have yet to unravel.
Therefore we are in website decided to tell you about 8 important parts of the human body, which we often do not pay any attention to.
Anatomical snuffbox
If you straighten and stretch your thumb a little, at its very base it will appear triangular hole. Physicians call this part of the body anatomical snuffbox, since in the past people used it to place and consume snuff.
It is through this place that the radial artery passes, and it is always easy to feel it, even if the pulsation is not very strong. And all because in this zone the artery is covered only by the skin and the connective sheath.
Big toe
We all know where it is, but often we don’t even think that this particular part of the body evolution has assigned the most important function.
It is thanks to the special structure of the big toe that we can maintain balance in a standing position for an infinitely long time. And this is one of the important skills that distinguishes humans from other mammals.
Glabella
Perhaps you didn't even know that a small area of the body between the eyebrows has some special name.
In fact, the glabella is an extremely important part of the body. It is with its help that you can easily check the state of your reflexes right now. Just tap your finger a few times on the area between the eyebrows. If your reflexes are fine, you will feel a slight tension in your eyes and an urge to blink.
Frenulum of the tongue
This little webbed fold under our tongue has one very important function: it fixes the tongue in the mouth and makes this organ less mobile.
This, in turn, helps to avoid glossoptosis(accidental tongue swallowing and suffocation). This is especially important for newborns who have not yet learned to control all the organs of their body.
Tragus and antitragus
The name of these small protrusions located in the auricle comes from from the Latin word tragos - "goat". Therefore, sometimes the terms "tragus" and "antitragus" are translated as "tragus" and "antitragus".
The tragus helps us pick up sounds coming from behind, amplify them, and determine where they come from. And the anti-tragus does the same, but in relation to the sounds appearing in front.
tonsils
In childhood, many of us had an ordinary operation to remove the tonsils, or tonsils. Therefore, many may have the feeling that the tonsils are not at all an important part of the body, a rudiment like an appendix. But it's not.
The tonsils are the first barrier that protects us from bacteria and viruses entering the body with the help of secreted lymphocytes. When tonsils are removed due to inflammation, other defense mechanisms remain in the human body. But it's still safer with tonsils.
Cuticle of the nail
The word "cuticle" is known to everyone who has done a manicure at least once in their life. This is a dense layer of skin located on the border of the nail and finger. Often people, wanting to make their hands irresistible, simply cut off the cuticle and take a big risk.
The fact is that the cuticle has a really important function. It protects our hands from harmful bacteria and germs, which are especially abundant in modern cities. If a bacterium enters your body through a micro-wound from a cut cuticle, you will not get rid of it by simply washing your hands.
philtrum
Most experts agree that the groove developed in humans in prehistoric times and performed the function of enhancing the sense of smell. Now it is no longer so important for us to have a strong sense of smell, but the groove remained as a reminder of our roots.
In addition, the shape of this part of the body can reveal a disease in a child even at the stage of embryo development. Sometimes an irregular shape of the groove can speak, for example, of autism.
Educational game for children 6 years old"Parts of the body" or "What we are made of." It is aimed at developing attention, memory, expanding ideas about the human body.
Game description
With the help of improvised means, two parallel lines are “drawn” on the floor. The distance of the lines from each other is about 3-4 meters. The driver is between the lines, and the rest behind one of them.
Lines can be drawn with chalk on the floor or marked with ropes.
In the first games, it is recommended that the leader be an adult. He asks questions about the structure of the human body. The guys who answered correctly are passed over the opposite line. The rest, taking advantage of the moment when the leader is distracted, can run across.
If the gallant manages to touch the running player, then he becomes the leader.
Sample list of questions
- What is in the human body only in the singular? (head, neck, face, heart...)
- What occurs twice in the body? (hands, feet, ears...)
- What about four times? (four thumbs...)
- What parts of the body are round/oval?
- What part of the body can be bent?
- Which parts of the body are hard and which are soft?
- On what part of the body can you bring a small book?
Note
The last question needs a clear answer. That is, it is necessary to demonstrate the process. In this case, you can use different parts of the body (head, shoulders, neck, knee, elbow ...).
Each new game becomes more difficult, questions about internal organs are added. Provided that there were conversations on the relevant topic.
I am glad to welcome you, dear readers! We all know perfectly well that a woman loves with her ears, and a man with his eyes. So, building a muscular and at the same time attractive figure is not an easy task for any gender, and here (in priority) it is necessary to pay attention to working out the most attractive parts of the body and know what to pump in the gym. Those. it is worth shifting the emphasis in your workouts to the most “appetizing” parts that are most striking and allow you to look the most advantageous against the general background.
I think you have already guessed that today we will talk about the topic - which muscle groups make the opposite sex simply sweat and languish. Well, and most importantly, we will learn how to make them more “batonous” and embossed.
Here we go…
What to download in the gym: winning muscle groups
It may seem strange at first glance, but women react much less to the appearance of a man and often appreciate a man's sense of humor, wit and self-confidence much more. As for women's preferences regarding the male figure, then there are tastes (from representative to representative) differ greatly. Some like lean models from glossy magazines; others - large and stately "machomen"; still others are crazy about their neighbor, an office worker with narrow shoulders. As for specific parts of the body, here the tastes also differ: some love the steel male press, give others rounded buttocks, and others - with both hands on developed shoulders.
In general, for ladies, as always, everything is complicated, whether it’s a man’s business – they are attracted to almost any part of a woman’s body. No, I will not say that the wit and showiness of the girl herself do not play a role, they just somehow fade into the background after a few minutes of communication. What is the reason for this? ... probably, with mother nature.
Well, we digress a little from the topic. So which muscle groups should be prioritized to look more attractive?
Here it is worth saying that we must follow our tastes and preferences in sculpting our body, because it is yours, and you are its sculptor. However, do not forget that a person is a social being, and what others think about his figure also matters to him.
Note:
It is unlikely that Arnold Schwarzenegger trained so hard if he did not live on a desert island, where there was no one to evaluate his achievements.
Men's self-confidence very often stems from the good physical shape of one's own body, it is she who allows herself to like herself and, as a result, everyone else (particularly to the opposite sex). In one of the books on biology, I remember, it was said: "... females prefer males who are somewhat beyond the usual."
If you apply this thought directly to bodybuilding, then building muscle can be called something beyond the ordinary. Therefore, for any male representatives involved in gyms, the chances of attracting the attention of women increase significantly. So, which ones should you focus on in order to build an attractive and beautiful body?
For a man, this is the pectoral muscle, abs, arms, buttocks. If you are a woman, you just need to keep yourself in the usual muscle tone, i.e. do not “start” and monitor the percentage of body fat. Of course, fitness exercises on the buttocks (for elasticity), chest will not interfere (to strengthen and uplift) and press (flat tummy).
Did you notice how many similarities there are? In general, the muscle groups that make our body visually more attractive are: buttocks, abs, chest and arms. Let's move on to the practical part.
What to download in the gym: the best exercises
So, let's start in order, go through each muscle and figure out how best to train them. And the first group in line is ...
Buttocks
Many women do not wonder what to download in the gym. They just shake their ass. Buttocks, she is the “sirloin” part. Due to the fact that a person spends most of his time in a sedentary job, the most problematic area for many women (also men) is this very “hard worker”.
Based on the anatomical functions of the buttock muscles, it becomes clear that the best exercises for training it are various squats and lunges with dumbbells. A better study of the elasticity of the buttocks can be achieved by combining two exercises (e.g. lunges and hyperextensions) in one series.
What are good lunges?
The thing is that this is a unique exercise for working out the legs separately, because. it provides a good stretch and concentric contraction of the gluteal muscle. All this is due to the powerful neuromuscular impulses that occur when training one half of the body. In addition, such large muscle groups as quadriceps and hamstrings are alternately included in the work.
Why hyperextension?
It is generally accepted that this exercise is intended exclusively for working out the lower back. (more precisely, extensors), but first of all - this is the best insulator of the buttocks. I don’t know if the girls are aware of this feature, but in our gym this is their favorite simulator. It turns out that when the legs are straightened, it is the buttocks that are the main “adducting-moving” muscles, and therefore the load is redistributed between the extensors and the large (someone like it :)) gluteal muscle.
So, in general, you can adhere to the following training scheme (superset) and sequence of exercises:
- deep squats (with a barbell - for men, with a pancake from the neck - for women) or leg presses in Hackenschmidt (2-3 approach to 8-10 repetitions);
Then the superset:
- lunges ( 2-3 X 8-10 ) ;
- hyperextension (2-3 X 10-12 ) ;
Note:
Superset - two different exercises in a combined approach, without a pause and rest between them.
Perform these exercises, and then rounded buttocks are provided to you. We go further.
pectoral muscles
This muscle group is most important for women, because. the height and elasticity of the chest depend on its development, and these parameters are constantly encroached upon by men of nature (or rather, gravity - attraction to the Earth). Also, harmoniously developed pectoral muscles are a big plus for men. This is one of those muscle groups that you need to pump in the gym.
In general, these muscles can be divided into 3 sections: lower, middle and upper. It is believed that it is not difficult to develop the first two, but you will have to sweat over the top. Again, the most progressive option would be to combine two exercises for different sections into a superset, then the training scheme will look like this:
Super set #1:
- barbell/dumbbell incline press (angled up) bench (2-3 By 10-12 rep.);
- breeding / mixing in a crossover ( 2 By 10 ) ;
Super set #2:
- dumbbell incline bench raise (1-2 X 8-10 ) ;
- incline dumbbell bench press (1 By 8-10 ) .
Note:
The technique for performing all the above exercises will also be discussed in the following articles, so subscribe and stay tuned.
The next muscle group is...
Press
The press belongs to the “core” group - a complex of muscles responsible for stabilizing the body. One of the most common misconceptions about the abdominal muscles is that the relief press is just the result of constant, hard training of this muscle group. However, this is not true.
You can "hollow" the press at least 5-6 once a week, but the result will not be visible, because. treasured cubes are tightly “sealed” under the fat layer. Therefore, for a visual effect - a clear drawing of the relief - give up ballast products, reduce calories and do cardio.
To effectively train the abdominal muscles, you must follow the following strategy:
- perform no more 15-20 repetitions in one approach;
- gradually increase the resistance (load weight);
- give rest and train the press no more 1-2 once a week;
- do lower abs exercises first (I will explain about the last point).
The thing is that when we perform exercises on the bottom of the press, the upper section also receives a partial load. If you do regular crunches first (horizontal twisting of the body lying down), and then hanging leg raises, it turns out that the tired top gives up before the bottom, so the latter does not get the load. Therefore, it is better to work out the lower section first.
A chiseled abs workout might look like this:
- hanging straight leg/knee lifts on the bar/wall bars (2-3 X 10-15 repetitions);
- regular crunches on the abdominal bench (similarly).
Last of the top 4 the most attractive groups are…
Hands
What man is not likes to drive fast dreams of big (full) arms, and what woman doesn't want to have toned, slightly muscular arms?
And although it would seem that the goals are completely different, however, the training programs fit exactly the same, and they allow everyone to achieve the results they need. Those. women should not be afraid that they will pump themselves huge hands - no. It's all about the nature and physiology of the body, or rather, different amounts of testosterone, muscle fiber density in women and men.
So the final program might look like this:
Superset (triceps):
- French flat bench press (2 fit By 8-10 ) ;
- narrow grip (similarly).
Superset (biceps):
- sitting dumbbell curl (2 approach to 10-12 repetitions);
- bending the arms on the Scott bench (same);
Exercises are performed at the “tempo of the waltz” without pauses and rest, i.e. it is desirable to have shells at hand, and not to run to them through the entire hall. Actually, what needs to be downloaded in the gym and we have considered the training programs for the most attractive parts of the body, it remains to sum up some results.
So, all the presented schemes work on the principle of a superset - the combination of two exercises into one. I would like to say that this is a great way to quickly achieve results, because. more muscle work is done in a shorter period of time. In addition, this principle (superset) promotes increased secretion of growth hormone, which, in turn, has a positive effect on the processes of building muscles and burning fat. Also, this hormone increases the overall tone of the skin, which also affects the appearance.
Afterword
Today we learned about the most “appetizing” parts of the body, and what to pump in the gym. I wish your figure to acquire as many attractive details as possible in the very near future!
See you soon, come back often, you are always welcome here!
PS. Dear readers, which ones are for you (in the opposite field) most attractive body parts? Share your thoughts in the comments.
