A anatomical term for a capsule or enclosed structure in the body, particularly in medical and biological contexts.
From Latin 'capsa' meaning 'box' or 'case'; used in anatomy to describe any small enclosed compartment.
Capsa is the root behind 'capsule,' and you can see it at work in anatomy terms like 'Bowman's capsule' in the kidney—ancient Latin is still the language of modern medicine!
