All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Smooth Muscle Tissue	NCIT_C12437	[Involuntary muscle tissue of the internal organs. It is composed of elongated muscle cells or fibers that are not arranged in a striated pattern and form layers of muscle tissue. The smooth muscle cells contain a contractile apparatus composed of thin and thick filaments and a cytoskeleton composed of intermediate filaments.]
Trachea	NCIT_C12428	[The fibrocartilaginous, mucous-lined tube passing from the larynx to the bronchi.]
Central Venous Cannula Insertion	NCIT_C40972	[A procedure of surgical placement of a catheter, which lumen is usually occupied by a trocar, into the central vein (internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral often used) or veins, to provide vascular access for measurement of hemodynamic variables that cannot be measured accurately by noninvasive means. It also can be used to deliver medications that were too potent or too toxic to be administered through peripheral access, for parenteral nutrition delivery; and for placing wires and pulmonary artery catheters. Central veins are usually cannulated percutaneously. The procedure is associated with many adverse events and has to be performed or supervised by an experienced physician.]
Tapasin	NCIT_C112141	[Tapasin (448 aa, ~48 kDa) is encoded by the human TAPBP gene. This protein is involved in activity of the MHC class I peptide-loading complex.]
Trachea Submucosa	NCIT_C49307
Submucosa	NCIT_C13167	[A layer of areolar tissue beneath the mucous membrane]
Non-CTC	NCIT_C40973	[Designates that a term or concept does not use the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria as a reference.]
VASP Gene	NCIT_C112142	[This gene is involved in both cell adhesion and motility.]
Tympanic Epithelium	NCIT_C49308
Epithelium	NCIT_C12710	[The avascular cellular layers that cover body surfaces and cavities and may form glands.]
Tympanic Membrane	NCIT_C12502	[A thin membrane that separates the external auditory canal from the middle ear. The movement of the tympanic membrane in response to air pressure changes in the external ear facilitates the transmission of sound energy by causing vibration of the ossicular chain.]
First Name	NCIT_C40974	[A word or group of words indicating a person's first (personal or given) name; the name that precedes the surname.]
VASP wt Allele	NCIT_C112143	[Human VASP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.32 and is approximately 20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, plays a role in cell adhesion, motility, and regulation of platelet aggregation.]
Last Name	NCIT_C40975	[A word or group of words indicating a person's last (family) name.]
Urethra Epithelium	NCIT_C49309
Urethra	NCIT_C12417	[The tube carrying urine from the bladder to outside of the body.]
Vasodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein	NCIT_C112144	[Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (380 aa, ~40 kDa) is encoded by the human VASP gene. This protein is involved in both cell motility and cell adhesion.]
Vaginal Epithelium	NCIT_C49313
Vaginal Squamous Epithelium	NCIT_C49314
Stratified Squamous Epithelium	NCIT_C13180	[Epithelium consisting of multiple layers of cells that are flattened and more cuboidal toward the base. Its function is protection. Outer layers may be dead and hardened (keratinized) such as with skin or on top of wet, mucous surfaces such as the cornea]
