Our human body continues to bewilder and fascinate both scientists and enthusiasts alike. With each letter of the alphabet, we unravel more about our anatomy and the various components that keep us functioning. Now, let’s turn our attention to one of the more elusive letters: ‘Q’. While the list might be shorter than others, the importance of these parts and their roles in the body cannot be understated.
