In anatomy, a wedge-shaped structure or space; related to wedge-like anatomical formations.
From Latin 'cuneus' meaning 'wedge,' this term preserves the original Latin form as a noun in anatomical nomenclature.
Latin terms like 'cunea' show how medicine and anatomy speak almost a different language—doctors kept Latin names to be precise because wedge-shaped structures appear all over the body!
