Label	Id	Description
urogenital fold	UBERON_0004876	[One of of the pair of folds derived from the cloacal folds which give rise to a portion of the external genitalia; in male embryos they close over the urethral plate and fuse to form the spongy (penile) urethra and ventral aspect of the penis, not including the glans; failure of fusion of the urethral folds leads to hypospadias; in female embryos they fuse only anterior to the anus and form the labia minora[MP].]
extraembryonic cavity	UBERON_0012466
intervertebral cartilage	UBERON_0011135	[A cartilage element that lies between two successive vertebral centra.]
cartilage element	UBERON_0007844	[Skeletal element that is composed of cartilage tissue and may be permanent or transient.]
intervertebral joint	UBERON_0001468	[The joint between adjacent vertebral bodies. May be composed of the nucleus pulposus, annular ligament, and the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments.]
mechanoreceptor	UBERON_0012449	[A sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion.]
sensory receptor	UBERON_0012451	[A sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. In response to stimuli the sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.]
tarsometatarsal joint	UBERON_0011118	[The tarsometatarsal articulations are arthrodial joints in the pes.]
tarsal bone	UBERON_0001447	[A bone that is part of the tarsal skeleton. Examples: calcaneus, talus, centralia.]
temporalis fascia	UBERON_0035108	[The temporal fascia covers the Temporalis muscle. It is a strong, fibrous investment, covered, laterally, by the Auricularis anterior and superior, by the galea aponeurotica, and by part of the Orbicularis oculi. The superficial temporal vessels and the auriculotemporal nerve cross it from below upward. Above, it is a single layer, attached to the entire extent of the superior temporal line; but below, where it is fixed to the zygomatic arch, it consists of two layers, one of which is inserted into the lateral, and the other into the medial border of the arch. A small quantity of fat, the orbital branch of the superficial temporal artery, and a filament from the zygomatic branch of the maxillary nerve, are contained between these two layers. It affords attachment by its deep surface to the superficial fibers of the Temporalis.]
head connective tissue	UBERON_0003566	[A portion of connective tissue that is part of a head [Automatically generated definition].]
face	UBERON_0001456	[A subdivision of the head that has as parts the layers deep to the surface of the anterior surface, including the mouth, eyes, and nose (when present). In vertebrates, this includes the facial skeleton and structures superficial to the facial skeleton (cheeks, mouth, eyeballs, skin of face, etc).]
carpometacarpal joint	UBERON_0011119	[The carpometacarpal joints (CMC) are joints in the wrist that articulates the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal bases of the metacarpal bones.]
plantar nerve	UBERON_0035109	[A nerve that innervates the sole of the foot. Planar nerves arise from the posterior branch of the tibial nerve.]
leg nerve	UBERON_0003431	[A nerve that is part of a leg [Automatically generated definition].]
tibial nerve	UBERON_0001323	[The tibial nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve. The tibial nerve passes through the popliteal fossa to pass below the arch of soleus. In the popliteal fossa the nerve gives off branches to gastrocnemius, popliteus, soleus and plantaris muscles, an articular branch to the knee joint, and a cutaneous branch that will become the sural nerve. The sural nerve is joined by fibres from the common peroneal nerve and runs down the calf to supply the lateral side of the foot. Below the soleus muscle the nerve lies close to the tibia and supplies the tibialis posterior, the flexor digitorum longus and the flexor hallucis longus. The nerve passes into the foot running posterior to the medial malleolus. Here it is bound down by the flexor retinaculum in company with the posterior tibial artery. [WP,unvetted].]
plantar part of pes	UBERON_0008338	[The sole is the bottom of the foot.]
podotheca	UBERON_0012447	[A horny sheath covering the lower leg of some birds.]
limb external integument structure	UBERON_3000981	[Dermal, epidermal, glandular and pigment structures of the limb integument.]
epidermal scale	UBERON_0007381	[A fold in the surface epidermis composed of keratin[Kardong].]
