"Farandolae" are a reference to the book A Wind in the Door.
"Prostate gland" and "Cowper's gland" are both male-specific (in Homo sapiens), which raises the question of whether these were intentionally included to implicate a male sex for the Evangelions, or if this is simply an artifact of how the list was compiled. That is, the male body has classically served as the "default" in anatomical texts, and the names of the two glands may have "snuck in" when the production staff prepared a list of English terms from such a book. Incidentally, the Cowper's, or bulbourethral, glands are in reality paired, but listed as a single entity here. This may support the notion that the male glands are in the list unintentionally.
Curiously, the rather archaic medical term "corpuscle" is used. "Red corpuscles" and "white corpuscles" refer to red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes), respectively.
