passage
Let an agent explain body passages, relay examples from anatomy, embryology and botany sources, route airway obstruction to emergency services, describe the named hyponyms, and distinguish body passages from vessels as tubular organs, cavities, lumens as interior spaces and non-anatomical passages.

What it is Filled
In the WordNet sense, a path, channel or duct in the body through or along which something may pass, with hyponyms the registry aliases name such as the birth canal, the aortic orifice where blood leaves the left ventricle into the aorta, pores in the skin, stomata as openings in plant leaves or surgically created openings, the blastopore, the first opening formed in the embryo during gastrulation, and vents such as the cloacal opening of birds, reptiles and fish; the concept spans anatomy, embryology and botany. Blockages of body passages such as the airway can be emergencies.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain body passages, relay examples from anatomy, embryology and botany sources, route airway obstruction to emergency services, describe the named hyponyms, and distinguish body passages from vessels as tubular organs, cavities, lumens as interior spaces and non-anatomical passages.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Allows passage
- Anatomical or botanical
- Openings and ducts
- Varied scales
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Advise inserting objects or devices into body passages outside clinical guidance.
- Diagnose a blockage or abnormality of a passage for a specific person.
- Use anatomical terms in a sexualised way about a person without their consent.
Only with a human decision
- Any clinical procedure on a body passage.
May
- Explain body passages, such as ducts, canals and orifices, in anatomical terms.
- Use the correct anatomical name for a passage in medical education material.
Moral aspects Filled
- Anatomy of intimate passages is a matter of dignity as well as health.
Who is affected
- Patients
- Students of anatomy
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns anatomy; each person answers for their own body and clinicians for their care.
