Is there any part of the body that starts with the letter "y" and what is it?

Define "part"...plenty come to mind (official names for latin counterparts) :\n1) Y ligament - a ligament that extends from the anterior inferior iliac spine to the intertrochanteric line of the femur and divides below into two branches of which one is fixed to the distal part and the other to the proximal part of the intertrochanteric line -- called also iliofemoral ligament\n\n2)Y neuropeptide - : a neurotransmitter composed of 36 amino acid residues that has a vasoconstrictive effect on blood vessels and is held to play a role in regulating eating behavior.\n\n3)Y body -  A single fluorescent spot originating in the long arm of the Y chromosome and visible in somatic nuclei of buccal smears. \n\n4)Y cartilage - Y-shaped cartilage, the connecting cartilage for the ilium, ischium, and pubis; it extends through the acetabulum. \n\n5) Yellow bone marrow - Bone marrow in which the meshes of the reticular network are filled with fat. \n\nSee a complete list of all other "parts" of the body that start with Y (assuming again this is everything and anything  within the body - no matter how miniscule it is) at the website below (online medical dictionary - and yes Y chromosome is listed as well)

if you mean Y Chromosome...then check out this website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome\n\nThe Y chromosome is "shorter" then the X chromosome.\n\nAlso:\nThere has been higher insidence of a smaller Y choromosome with trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome).

It's part of your genitalia, dear. The love button- so to speak. Usually referred to as the clit, it is a wonderful thing. Interesting, tho, when I attended the BodyWorlds exhibit in Chicago last summer, they didn't bother to label it on the female genitalia. All the guys' parts were labeled. It really has a stigma to it to even mention it! It's so weird that society isn't ready to give women the acknowledgment that they're allowed to be sexual beings. Just because it isn't flopping around between our legs doesn't mean it's not there! Get a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves and discover for yourself what it is to be a woman! Have fun!

The Romans didn't use the letters Y or J, but they pronounced J like "iye", so, for example, the Roman god of doors, Janus, is pronounced "iyanus". So yes, anything that starts with a J is pronounced with a Y.

All parts of the body are named, including parts you wouldn't even know what I was talking about if I gave you the name. "Perineum" is a Latin-based term from anatomy just as all the following terms are:\n\n"Palatoglossus" - the area of the mouth connecting the uvula and the palate.\n"Coccyx" - the "tail bone"\n"Gastrocnemius" - the calf muscle\n"Atlas and Axis" - the two uppermost cervical vertabrae\n"Olecranon fossa" - the hollow in the humerus where the ulna attaches\n"Ureter" - the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder\netc..\n\nI don't believe that the term "perineum" is actually all that well known, but if it is, then the question should be "why do most people know the proper anatomical term for the perineum but not for other parts of the body" rather than "why did someone feel compelled to name the taint area". After all, someone felt compelled to name all the areas.\n\nNow if you're asking why it was given the slang name "taint", that answer is the same as it is for all other parts of the body that we consider "taboo" to discuss: it's simply a euphemism. Rather than saying penis, vagina, rectum, and perineum, people say silly things like dingdong, weewee, a-hole, and taint. People don't use euphemisms for "back of the hand" or "vertebrae" or "biceps" because they don't find these terms embarrasing to discuss. We didn't come up with euphemisms for less commonly known terms such as the "ureter", even though they might be potentially embarrassing if they belong to the reproductive system or urinary tract (as "ureter" does), because they are not often discussed, partly due to the fact they're entirely internal. We only bother to come up with euphemisms for the "naughty bits" that we actually come into contact with on a regular basis.

a is correct because the u produces a y consonant sound.
