The topic of our text will be the parts of the body that begin with the letter G.
Apart from the external parts of the body that are visible, we will also mention some internal organs that start with the letter G.
We will base this text on human organs and body parts, but we will also mention some body parts characteristic of animals as well.
With each part of the body or organ, we will explain where it is located on the body and what its role is.
We will also tell you what you should take special care of when it comes to that part of the body.
Some of the parts of the body that we will mention are very important for the functioning of the organism, while others are less important and do not have any special role in the human or animal body.
If you are interested in finding out which parts of the body start with the letter G, you should continue reading this text because a lot of interesting information awaits you here.
Most Common Body Parts That Start With G
Gums
The gums represent the mucous membrane that covers parts of the lower and upper jaw.
More precisely, the gums are the part of the flesh around your teeth.
Some people have conspicuous gums that are visible when those people smile, while other people’s gums are barely visible.
Gums are in a pink-red colour and you can easily hurt your gums when you brush your teeth.
Therefore, you should never choose a very hard toothbrush, especially if you have sensitive gums.
People with sensitive gums must be especially careful when brushing their teeth.
Apart from occasional injuries to the gums, a very common disease is gingivitis.
In order to prevent gingivitis and other gums problems, the most important thing is to brush your teeth regularly and to maintain oral hygiene.
Gluteus
One of the parts of the body that starts with the letter G is the gluteus.
It is the Latin name for the buttock, so it is mainly used in anatomy and in medicine.
In everyday speech, this word is not commonly used.
Instead of gluteus we usually say buttock or butt.
As we have said, gluteus is the name for the buttock.
More precisely, the name gluteus refers to the soft tissues that are in the shape of two hemispheres.
Since it is a soft tissue, the gluteus allows us to sit more easily.
It is important to know that the gluteus is different in women and in men.
As you might guess, men’s gluteus is generally much narrower than women’s.
It is important to know that in women, much more fat accumulates in the region of gluteus than in men.
Genitals
Genitals are parts of the body that refer to male and female sexual organs.
Of course, the genitals are on the outside of your body, so we can say that they are usually called external sex organs.
There are various diseases of the genitals, so you must be careful and you should use appropriate protection during sexual intercourse.
Genitals are the name not only for sexual organs in humans but also in animals.
Gland
Gland is not a classic part of the body, but it is an internal organ that has a very important role for the functioning of the human and animal body.
There are so many glands in the human body. Glands secrete various substances that have a very important role for the functioning of the whole body.
In the human body there are two sets of glands: with internal and with external secretion.
One of the most important glands in the human body is the thyroid gland, which secretes important hormones.
When the work of the thyroid gland is not good, it can disrupt the balance in the entire organism and lead to numerous health problems.
Gallbladder
Another organ that we will mention that has a certain function in the human body is the gallbladder.
The role of the gallbladder is to store the green liquid secreted by the liver. That greenish liquid is called bile.
The bile is further transported to the small intestine where it has an important role because it helps to break down fats from the food that we eat.
Also, this way the nutrients reach the bloodstream much more easily.
The gallbladder is actually an organ located under the liver, that is, in the upper part of the stomach, on the right side of the body.
The gallbladder is a small organ, and its role for the body is not particularly important, so due to some irregularities, the gallbladder can be safely removed.
Therefore, the organism can function well without a gallbladder.
Groin
Groin is the name for the part of the body where the lower part of the stomach passes into the inner and front thighs.
In other words, we can say that the groin is the part of the body where the legs join each other.
The groin is a very sensitive part of the body, so it is easy to hurt it.
In this context we can talk about groin stretching or groin inflammation.
Strict rest is recommended for any groin injury. The other word for groin is crotch.
Gullet
The gullet is part of the digestive tract and it is a very important organ in the human body.
It is actually a tube through which food goes from the mouth to the stomach.
The other name for the gullet is the esophagus. This name is usually used in medicine and anatomy.
Inflammation of the gullet can often occur, which can be caused by various bacteria, fungi and microorganisms.
If you feel pain when swallowing or if you swallow with difficulties, if your acid returns or if you have frequent nausea, we advise you to consult a doctor in time.
It is possible that you have inflammation of the gullet or some other disease related to this organ.
In this case, it will be necessary to have a gastroscopy and adequate medical treatments.
A gullet is a part of a gastrointestinal tract and we are going to mention it as the next part of the body starting with G.
Gastrointestinal tract
We have already mentioned gastrointestinal tract that has a very important role in the body.
The gastrointestinal tract consists of many organs, such as mouth, throat, gullet, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum and anus.
All food that we eat and liquids that we drink are going through all these organs. When we swallow the food, we have to digest it.
After that the food will be absorbed and at the end of the process it will leave our body in the form of feces.
As we have said, gastrointestinal tract has the main role in that process and it is very important to keep gastrointestinal tract healthy.
If you have problems with any of the organs that are a part of the gastrointestinal tract, you have to treat it in time.
Otherwise, it can lead to serious complications in gastrointestinal tract and even to death.
Gut
If you are wondering what other body part or organ that starts with the letter G is, we will tell you the slang name for one body part. Have you ever heard of gut?
Do you know what body part that is?
Well, it’s the stomach, believe it or not. In informal speech, the stomach is often called gut. If someone has a big belly, then we say “he has a big gut”.
In another context, a gut can be another name for intestines, which means that it can refer to something that is inside the stomach itself.
Accordingly, when an animal is prepared for roasting or cooking, we can talk about gutting. Gutting or the removal of the intestines and other internal organs is required in this case.
Gill
Finally, we will mention an organ that is typical for fish and other animals that are adapted to life in water.
It is the gill. This is also an organ that begins with the letter G.
However, this time we are not talking about human organs and body parts, but about animal ones.
Gills in fish and some other aquatic animals function as respiratory organs. Gills in fish have the same role as lungs in humans.
Fish gills are located in a visible and prominent place, that is, they extend from the head to the side fins of the fish.
