👉 In anatomy, a hypopygial is a term used to describe a structure located between the anterior and posterior chambers of the heart. It is an area where blood flow is significantly reduced compared to other parts of the heart. The term was originally derived from the Greek word "hypogeia," which means "below." This term is often used in medical or surgical contexts to refer to the area around a vital organ, such as the heart, that is not receiving enough blood supply.
