#E217 (extra point to extravagant)
from The Dictionary
I read from extra point to extravagant. "The pyramidal tracts are named because they pass through the pyramids of the medulla oblongata" and the "extrapyramidal system" controls posture and muscle tone (things that are involuntary). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_tracts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapyramidal_system Extratropical Cyclones form around 30° to 60° away from the equator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extratropical_cyclone Unfortunately, the fetus is unable to survive in an extrauterine (ectopic) pregnancy, except in very rare exceptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_pregnancy Here's the etymology for "extravagant". https://www.etymonline.com/word/extravagant#etymonline_v_14130 The word of the episode is "extrasensory perception".
