I think Pharynx and Chyme are really fine names.

Quite like Ileum too.

This is all hypothetical ofcourse!

Oh, I like lumen.

Submandibular (Mandi for short) but that is a bit far stretched.

Melaena.

Actually came across a 'melaena cafe' once..didn't order anything!

Lumen could actually work, in its context as unit of light intensity. Quite nice, as a name.

Likewise Candela.

But I digress. Sorry.
