What does CRURAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicaltechnical
Relating to the leg, especially the lower leg or thigh, or to structures described using the Latin term crus.
Anatomists use crural to describe blood vessels, nerves, and muscles found in the leg, as in the crural arteries that supply blood to the lower limb. The word derives from the Latin crus, meaning leg or shin, which also names other structures such as the crura of the diaphragm, so crural sometimes describes those related parts as well, not only the leg itself. It appears almost exclusively in anatomy and medicine rather than in everyday descriptions of the leg.
