Label	Id	Description
obsolete regional part of diencephalon	UBERON_0002784	[A regional part of brain that is part of a diencephalon [Automatically generated definition].]
endoneurium	UBERON_0000123	[The loose connective tissue within the perineurium that continues into nerve fascicles and surrounds individual fibers. (Nolte, J. The Human Brain 3rd edition)]
nerve fiber	UBERON_0006134	[A threadlike extension of a nerve cell and consists of an axon and myelin sheath (if it is myelinated) in the nervous system. There are nerve fibers in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. A nerve fiber may be myelinated and/or unmyelinated. In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin by oligodendroglia cells is formed. Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cells also make a thin covering in an axon without myelin (in the PNS). A peripheral nerve fiber contains an axon, myelin sheath, schwann cells and its endoneurium. There are no endoneurium and schwann cells in the central nervous system.]
lung bud	UBERON_0000118	[Structure derived from foregut that becomes a lung[GO].]
epithelial bud	UBERON_0005153	[A bud is a protrusion that forms from an epithelial sheet by localized folding.]
lung primordium	UBERON_0005597	[A pair of lateral diverticula just over the liver rudiment representing the primordia of the lungs, formed by the floor of the foregut just anterior to the liver diverticulum.]
splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm	UBERON_0004872	[Layer of lateral plate mesoderm that forms the circulatory system and future gut wall - overlies endoderm[WP].]
angular sulcus	UBERON_0026725	[A superficial feature of the parietal lobe. It is the portion of the superior temporal sulcus that extends into the angular gyrus (Ono-90). (NN)]
superior temporal sulcus	UBERON_0002734	[The superior temporal sulcus is the sulcus separating the superior temporal gyrus from the middle temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe of the brain. The superior temporal sulcus is the first sulcus inferior to the lateral fissure. It is involved in the perception of where others are gazing and is thus important in determining where others' emotions are being directed. It is also involved in the perception of biological motion.]
angular gyrus	UBERON_0002686	[Part of inferior parietal lobule formed by the cortex surrounding the upturned end of the superior temporal sulcus (Nolte, The Human Brain, 6th ed, 2009, pg 659)]
respiratory tube	UBERON_0000117	[A tube in the respiratory system. Examples: bronchus, bronchiole, trachea.]
respiratory tract	UBERON_0000065	[Anatomical structure that is part of the respiratory system. In mammals consists of upper and lower tracts]
lung saccule	UBERON_0000116	[Primitive gas exchange portion of the lung composed of type I and type II cells[GO].]
alveolus of lung	UBERON_0002299	[Spherical outcropping of the respiratory bronchioles and primary site of gas exchange with the blood. Alveoli are particular to mammalian lungs. Different structures are involved in gas exchange in other vertebrates[WP].]
tarsus endochondral element	UBERON_0015050	[A tarsus bone or its cartilage or pre-cartilage precursor.]
mesopodium bone	UBERON_0003656	[A bone that is part of a mesopodial skeleton.]
tarsus cartilage element	UBERON_0010541	[A cartilaginous condensation that has the potential to develop into a tarsal bone.]
ventral pallidum	UBERON_0002778	[Part of the globus pallidus, consisting of the more medial of the two segments. In some species, e.g., primates, it is separated from the lateral segment by the fibers of the medial medullary lamina (MM).]
pallidum	UBERON_0006514	[Part of what are called the basal ganglia of the brain which consist of the globus pallidus and the ventral pallidum.]
basal forebrain	UBERON_0002743	[A region of the brain consisting of ventral and rostral subcortical regions of the telencephalon, including among others, the basal ganglia, septal nuclei, amygdala, ventral pallidum, substantia innominata, and basal nucleus of Meynert.]
