Label	Id	Description
skeletal muscle organ	UBERON_0014892	[A muscle organ that consists of skeletal muscle tissue ensheathed in epimysium, that develops from myotome and that is innervated by some somatic motor neuron. Skeletal muscles are typically attached (via a tendon) to a bone but there are exceptions (e.g. intrinsic tongue muscles).]
Meissner's corpuscle	UBERON_0012450	[A type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have highest sensitivity (lowest threshold) when sensing vibrations lower than 50 Hertz. They are rapidly adaptive receptors.]
integument	UBERON_0002199	[The dermis, epidermis and hypodermis.]
central part of mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus	UBERON_0035113
gray matter of diencephalon	UBERON_0019269
medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus	UBERON_0002739	[The medial dorsal nucleus (or dorsomedial nucleus of thalamus) is a large nucleus in the thalamus. It receives inputs from the Pre-Frontal Cortex and the Limbic System and in turn relays them to the Pre-Frontal Association Cortex. As a result, it plays a crucial role in attention, planning, organization, abstract thinking, multi-tasking and active memory. The connections of the medial dorsal nucleus have even been used to delineate the prefrontal cortex of the Göttingen minipig brain. By stereology the number of brain cells in the region has been estimated to around 6.43 million neurons in the adult human brain and 36.3 million glial cells, and with the newborn having quite different numbers: around 11.2 million neurons and 10.6 million glial cells. Lesions of the medial dorsal nucleus have been associated with Wernicke's encephalopathy [WP,unvetted].]
synovial joint	UBERON_0002217	[Joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by an articular capsule which encloses a synovial membrane and a synovial cavity. Examples: Temporomandibular joint, knee joint.[FMA]]
cranial skeletal system	UBERON_0010323	[Skeletal subdivision of the head including skull (cranium plus mandible), pharyngeal and/or hyoid apparatus.]
lateral part of mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus	UBERON_0035114
Merkel nerve ending	UBERON_0012456	[mechanoreceptors found in the skin and mucosa of vertebrates that provide touch information to the brain. The information they provide are those regarding pressure and texture. Each ending consists of a Merkel cell in close apposition with an enlarged nerve terminal]
diastema between central incisors	UBERON_0035115	[A space or gap between the left and right central incisors, on either the upper or lower jaw.]
diastema between incisors	UBERON_0035119	[A space or gap any two incisors. This may be a midline diastema between central incisors, or a diastema located entirely in a single jaw quadrant between lateral incisors.]
central incisor tooth	UBERON_0018551
Ruffini nerve ending	UBERON_0012457	[An encapsulated nerve receptor present in subpapillary dermis and deep dermis of hairy and glabrous skin.]
diastema between upper central incisors	UBERON_0035116	[A space or gap between the left and right central incisors on the upper jaw.]
stifle joint	UBERON_0011123	[A complex joint in the hind limbs of quadruped mammals such as the sheep, horse or dog. It is the equivalent joint to the human knee. It is often the largest synovial joint in the body.]
knee joint	UBERON_0001485	[The knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella. It is the largest and most complicated joint in the human body. The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus (i.e. a pivotal hinge joint), which permits flexion and extension as well as a slight medial and lateral rotation[WP,unvetted].]
diastema between lower central incisors	UBERON_0035117	[A space or gap between the left and right central incisors on the lower jaw.]
xiphisternal joint	UBERON_0011124	[The xiphisternal joint (or xiphisternal synchondrosis) is a location near the bottom of the sternum, where the body of the sternum and the xiphoid process.]
symphysis	UBERON_0002216	[Cartilaginous joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by fibrocartilage. Examples: pubic symphysis, intervertebral symphysis, manubriosternal joint.[FMA]]
