What does SURAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the calf of the leg, as in the sural nerve or the sural artery.
Sural is an anatomical term applied to structures found in or serving the calf, the muscular back part of the lower leg below the knee. The sural nerve, for example, carries sensation from the skin of the calf and outer ankle and is often used by surgeons as a graft because it can be removed with little lasting loss of function. Doctors and anatomists use sural rather than an everyday phrase because it fits precisely into Latin-based medical naming alongside terms for nearby muscles and vessels. Outside anatomy and medicine the word is essentially unknown.

Technical, confined to anatomy and medicine, describing nerves, arteries, or muscles of the calf.
