What does CONUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A cone-shaped anatomical structure, especially the tapering lower end of the spinal cord or a conical chamber of the heart.
Doctors use conus mainly in two fixed phrases: conus medullaris, the pointed tip where the spinal cord narrows and ends, and conus arteriosus, the funnel-shaped chamber that channels blood out of the heart toward the pulmonary artery. The Latin word conus simply means cone, and it entered English through Latin descriptions of anatomy written by early physicians. The same Latin word also gives its name to Conus, the group of marine snails known for their cone-shaped shells, though that is a separate biological use.
