Label	Id	Description
nasal cavity	UBERON_0001707	[An anatomical cavity that is part of the olfactory apparatus. This includes the space bounded anteriorly by the nares and posteriorly by the choanae, when these structures are present.]
oral cavity	UBERON_0000167	[Anatomical cavity at the start of the digestive tract that that is enclosed by the mouth. The boundaries and contents vary depending on the species. In vertebrates, the boundaries are the oral opening, the cheeks, the palate and (if present) the palatoglossal arch - if this is not present then the mouth and pharynx form the oropharyngeal cavity. The buccal cavity contains the teeth, tongue and palate (when present)]
upper jaw region	UBERON_0001709	[Subdivision of head that consists of the upper jaw skeletal elements plus associated soft tissue (skin, lips, muscle)[cjm].]
spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve	UBERON_0001717	[Nucleus extending from the upper spinal cord through the pontine tegmentum that receives sensory inputs from the trigeminal nerve. It is continuous caudally with the dorsal gray matter of the spinal cord.]
trigeminal sensory nucleus	UBERON_0004132	[The sensory trigeminal nerve nuclei are the largest of the cranial nerve nuclei, and extend through the whole of the midbrain, pons and medulla. The nucleus is divided into three parts, from rostral to caudal (top to bottom in humans): * The mesencephalic nucleus * The chief sensory nucleus (or pontine nucleus or main sensory nucleus or primary nucleus) * The spinal trigeminal nucleus[WP].]
mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve	UBERON_0001718	[Elongated nucleus located in the midbrain tegmentum that receives proprioceptive input from both teh extraocular and the masticatory muscles. Contrary to the general rule, the cell bodies that give rise to these sensory fibers are located within the mesencephalic nucleus rather than in a peripheral ganglion. Some of the sensory fibers in the mesencephalic root give off collaterals to the trigeminal motor nucleus, thereby providing the anatomic basis for the monosynaptic jaw reflex. (Heimer, L. The Human Brain and Spinal Cord, 2nd ed. 1996, page 248).]
brainstem nucleus	UBERON_0006331	[A nucleus of brain that is part of a brainstem.]
midbrain nucleus	UBERON_0009661	[Nucleus located in the midbrain.]
eyelid	UBERON_0001711	[A fold of skin that covers and protects part of the eyeball. Examples: upper eyelid, lower eyelid, nictitating membrane]
organ part	UBERON_0000064	[A multicellular structure that is a part of an organ.]
ocular surface region	UBERON_0010409	[The integrated unit (of the eye) that consists of the conjunctiva, the corneal surface, and the ocular mucosal adnexa including the lid margins and the meibomian gland openings, the lacrimal glands and the lacrimal drainage system, all which are critical to maintain ocular surface integrity and provide protection from external antigens and pathogenic microorganisms.]
camera-type eye	UBERON_0000019	[An organ of sight that includes the camera-type eyeball and supporting structures such as the lacrimal apparatus, the conjunctiva, the eyelid.]
upper eyelid	UBERON_0001712
lower eyelid	UBERON_0001713
cranial ganglion	UBERON_0001714	[the groups of nerve cell bodies associated with the twelve cranial nerves]
ganglion	UBERON_0000045	[A biological tissue mass, most commonly a mass of nerve cell bodies.]
cranial neuron projection bundle	UBERON_0034713	[Any of the cranial nerves, or their central nervous system analogs (the optic tract, the epiphyseal tract). These analogs are not true nerves, and are instead evaginated sensory afferents emanating from the brain]
head	UBERON_0000033	[The head is the anterior-most division of the body [GO].]
nucleus ambiguus	UBERON_0001719	[A region of histologically disparate cells located just dorsal to the inferior olivary nucleus in the lateral portion of the upper medulla. It receives upper motor neuron innervation directly via the corticobulbar tract This nucleus gives rise to the efferent motor fibers of the vagus nerve terminating in the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles, as well as to the efferent motor fibers of the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) terminating in the stylopharyngeus. [WP,unvetted].]
vagus nerve nucleus	UBERON_0011775	[A cranial nerve nucleus that is associated with a vagus nerve.]
