In law, an accessary or accessory is a person guilty of an offence by connivance or participation, either before or after the act committed, as by command, advice, concealment, etc. An accessary before the fact is one who procures or counsels another to commit a crime, and is not present at its commission; an accessary after the fact is one who, knowing a felony to have been committed, gives assistance of any kind to the felon so as to hinder him from being apprehended, tried, or suffering punishment. An accessary before the fact may be tried and punished in all respects as if he were the principal. In high treason, all who participate are regarded as principals. Research Accessary
In grammar, an adjective is a word used to denote some quality in the noun or substantive to which it is accessory. The adjective is indeclinable in English (but has degrees of comparison), and generally precedes the noun, while in most other European languages it follows the inflections of the substantive, and is more commonly placed after it, though in German it precedes it, as in English.

Pholas is a genus of burrowing bivalve molluscs, also known as piddocks in parts of England where they are used as bait. The species are found within such rocks as shale, chalk, limestone and the like. Like all burrowing bivalves, they have gaping shells, which in this genus are pure white in colour, and have accessory plates of lime attached. The animal is furnished with long siphons, having fringed extremities, and during life these siphons are protruded from the burrows, so that water, containing food and oxygen, may pass in.

A crucifix is a Christian image, often worn as an amulet, comprising an image of Christ on the cross. As an amulet the crucifix offers the wearer Christ's protection against evil. As a rule the figures on the most ancient crucifixes were not carved, but were engraved on gold, silver, or iron crosses. At a later period they were painted on wood, and it is only in the 9th century, in the pontificate of Leo III, that the figure of Christ appears carved upon the cross in bass-relief.
Originally the body was represented clothed in a tunic reaching to the feet; afterwards the clothing was removed with the exception of a cloth round the loins. Until the llth century Christ is represented alive; since that period he has been represented as dead. In the earlier crucifixes, also, the number of nails by which Christ is fixed to the cross is four, one through each hand and each foot, while in the more modern ones one foot is laid above the other and a single nail driven through both. Many crucifixes bear also the superscription in an abbreviated form, and accessory symbols and figures. Research Crucifix
The twelve cranial nerves innervate the muscles and skin of the head, neck, and, in the case of the vagus, sacral, and spinal accessory nerves, many other important structures throughout the body. These nerves originate in the pons, the forebrain, medulla oblongata, and the uppermost part of the spinal cord, between the first few cervical vertebrae.
The first four include the olfactory (1st), which innervates the nasalmucous layer and allows the sense of smell, the optic (2nd) which innervates the retina and allows the sense of sight, the oculomotor (3rd) which innervates the pupil and cilia of the eye, and the trochlear (4th) which innervates the superior oblique eyemuscles. The next cranial nerve is the trigeminal (5th) which has three divisions: the ophthalmic (eye), maxillary (upper palate and face), and mandibular (jawbone, tongue, and auriculotemporal region). The sixth, seventh, and eighth nerves are the abducens (lateral rectus of eye), the facial (face and earmuscles), and the acoustic (outer and inner ear structures), respectively. The ninth cranial nerve is the glossopharyngeal, which innervates the pharynx, tongue, and tympanus of the ear. The tenth cranial nerve, the vagus, has many branches which innervate a number of important structures, including the heart, lungs, and stomach. The eleventh cranial nerve is the accessory spinal nerve, which innervates structures of the neck and throat, including the pharynx and the cervical lymph glands. The twelfth cranial nerve is the hypoglossal nerve, which innervates the tongue. Research Cranial nerve
The jugular fossa is the surface of the skull where the temporal and occipital bones meet. It features the jugular foramen, an opening in the skull formed at the juncture of the occipital and temporal bones. The jugular foramen admits the internal jugular vein and five nerves (three cranial, the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory). Research Jugular Fossa
The levator palati (levator veli palatini) is a long, thick, rounded muscle that raises the soft palate and opens the eustachian tube during swallowing. The lower end of the eustachian tube opens during swallowing to allow air to flow into the middle ear and equalize the air pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane. The levator palati originates from the temporal bone and inserts in the palatine aponeurosis. The levator palati is innervated the pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve and by fibres from cranial accessory nerve. Research Levator Palati
The pancreatic ducts allow transport of pancreatic fluids from the many lobules of the pancreas to the duodenum of the intestine. The primary pancreatic duct, also called the canal of Wirsung, is the main duct which accepts contributions of fluid from the many tributary ducts leading from these lobules. An accessory pancreatic duct is occasionally found to branch off of the primary pancreatic duct in the neck of the pancreas and opens into the duodenum about three centimeters above the opening of the primary pancreatic duct.
