Label	Id	Description
hemipenis	UBERON_0008812	[one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates. Hemipenes are usually held inverted, within the body, and are everted for reproduction via erectile tissue like that in the human penis. Only one is used at a time, and some evidence indicates males alternate use between copulations. The hemipenis itself has a variety of shapes, depending on species. Often the hemipenis bears spines or hooks, in order to anchor the male within the female. Some species even have forked hemipenes (each hemipenis has two tips). Due to being everted and inverted, hemipenes do not have a completely enclosed channel for the conduction of sperm, but rather a seminal groove which seals as the erectile tissue expands]
cloacal vent	UBERON_0012464	[The opening of the cloacal chamber to the outside of the organism. Birds maintain a single cloacal opening throughout their lives.]
orifice	UBERON_0000161	[Anatomical conduit that connects two adjacent body spaces (or a body space with the space surrounding the organism)[FMA,modified].]
intermetatarsal joint	UBERON_0011133	[A joint that connects two adjacent metatarsals]
pes joint	UBERON_0001487	[A skeletal joint that is part of a pes [Automatically generated definition].]
metatarsal bone	UBERON_0001448	[The metatarsus or metatarsal bones are a group of five long bones in the pes located between the tarsal bones of the hind- and mid-pes and the phalanges of the toes. Lacking individual names, the metatarsal bones are numbered from the medial side (side of big toe): the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth metatarsal. The metatarsals are analogous to the metacarpal bones of the manus. [WP,unvetted].]
metatarsus region	UBERON_0000983	[A metapodium region that is part of a pes.]
temporomandibular joint primordium	UBERON_0011130
primordium	UBERON_0001048	[Primordia are populations of contiguous cells that are morphologically distinct and already correspond in extent to a later organ/tissue[FBbt, Hartenstein, V. (2004)].]
petrous part of temporal bone	UBERON_0001694	[The petrous portion of the temporal bone or pyramid is pyramidal and is wedged in at the base of the skull between the sphenoid and occipital bones. Directed medially, forward, and a little upward, it presents for examination a base, an apex, three surfaces, and three angles, and contains, in its interior, the essential parts of the organ of hearing. The petrous portion is among the most basal elements of the skull and forms part of the endocranium.[WP,unvetted].]
transverse process of vertebra	UBERON_0001077	[The transverse or costal processes of a vertebra, two in number, project one at either side from the point where the lamina joins the pedicle, between the superior and inferior articular processes. They serve for the attachment of muscles and ligaments. [WP,unvetted].]
caudal vertebra	UBERON_0001095	[Any vertebral bone that is part of the caudal region of the vertebral column (tail or coccyx).]
proctodeum portion of cloaca	UBERON_0012462	[Most distal cloacal compartment; function is copulation and in some species develops a penis[Kardong]]
intermetacarpal joint	UBERON_0011131	[A skeletal joint that connects two adjacent metacarpals[FMA,modified].]
metacarpal bone	UBERON_0002374	[A bone that is part of the metacarpal skeleton.]
metacarpus region	UBERON_0004453	[A metapodium region that is part of a manus.]
perineal body smooth muscle muscle tissue	UBERON_0035103
anal region smooth muscle	UBERON_0004231	[A portion of smooth muscle tissue that is part of an anal region [Automatically generated definition].]
musculature of perineum	UBERON_0004486	[Any collection of muscles that is part of a perineum [Automatically generated definition].]
perineal body	UBERON_0006654	[The perineal body (or central tendon of perineum) is a pyramidal fibromuscular mass in the middle line of the perineum at the junction between the urogenital triangle and the anal triangle . It is found in both males and females. In males, it is found between the bulb of penis and the anus; in females, is found between the vagina and anus, and about 1.25 cm in front of the latter. The perineal body is essential for the integrity of the pelvic floor, particularly in females. Its rupture during delivery leads to widening of the gap between the anterior free borders of levator ani muscle of both sides, thus predisposing the woman to prolapse of the uterus, rectum, or even the urinary bladder.]
