What does ANTRUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A natural cavity or chamber inside a bone or other body structure, such as the lower part of the stomach.
An antrum is simply an anatomical pocket, and the word is attached to several different cavities in the body depending on where a doctor is pointing. The maxillary antrum sits inside the cheekbone, while the pyloric antrum forms the lower section of the stomach before it narrows into the small intestine. Physicians favour antrum over a plain word like cavity because it marks out a specific, named space rather than any hollow at all. The term comes from Latin and Greek words for cave, which fits its meaning closely.
