Hi, Marsha here. If your question hasn't yet been answered, the muscle you

are speaking of is the detruisor muscle, that muscle which controls

sphincter action to control urinary flow. Hope this helps.

No, sorry. There are lots of " canals " listed in Stedman's, but I can't find

one that sounds

like " odicanal. " Don't laugh, but what comes to mind is perfume! LOL! You

know...eau de canal?

Soweeeeee......

That is what I was trying to put in, but does not

sound like what he is saying. I spelled it the way I

am hearing it. Any suggestions?

I have a feeling that the word you're looking for here is midline, but the

sentence itself doesn't make sense to me. The thyroid gland being

moderately enlarged is okay, but the neck itself is usually referred to as

supple, and the " suppleness " is usually not referred to as being in the

midline. Is it possible you've left out a word or (more likely) that the

doctor " swallowed " it?

Thyroid gland appears to be moderately enlarged and

supple in the s/l decline.
