Label	Id	Description
pelvic cavity	UBERON_0008203	[The part of the ventral body cavity that is within the pelvis.]
bone of hip region	UBERON_0008202
scute	UBERON_0008201	[A bony external plate or scale, as on the shell of a turtle, the skin of crocodilians, the feet of some birds. Scutes are similar to scales and serve the same function. Unlike the scales of fish and snakes, which are formed from the epidermis, scutes are formed in the lower vascular layer of the skin and the epidermal element is only the top surface. Forming in the living dermis, the scutes produce a horny outer layer, that is superficially similar to that of scales. Scutes will usually not overlap as snake scales (but see the pangolin). The outer keratin layer is shed piecemeal, and not in one continuous layer of skin as seen in snakes or lizards. The dermal base may contain bone and produce dermal armour. Scutes with a bony base are properly called osteoderms. Dermal scutes are also found in the feet of birds and tails of some mammals, and are believed to be the primitive form of dermal armour in reptiles. The term is also used to describe the heavy armour of the armadillo and the extinct glyptodon, and is occasionally used as an alternative to scales in describing snakes or certain fishes, such as sturgeons[WP].]
forehead	UBERON_0008200	[The part of the face above the eyes[MESH]. In human anatomy, the forehead is the fore part of the head. It is, formally, an area of the head bounded by three features, two of the skull and one of the scalp. The top of the forehead is marked by the hairline, the edge of the area where hair on the scalp grows. The bottom of the forehead is marked by the supraorbital ridge, the bone feature of the skull above the eyes. The two sides of the forehead are marked by the temporal ridge, a bone feature that links the supraorbital ridge to the coronal suture line and beyond[WP].]
left adrenal gland cortex	UBERON_0035825	[the thick outer layer of the adrenal gland that is in the left side of the abdomen]
left adrenal gland	UBERON_0001234	[An adrenal gland that is in the left side of the abdomen]
periosteal dura mater	UBERON_0010505	[The outermost of the two layers of the cranial dura mater which normally always adheres to the periosteum of the bones of the cranial vault]
layer of dura mater	UBERON_0010507	[The intracranial dura mater, consisting of two layers: the outer periosteal layer which normally always adheres to the periosteum of the bones of the cranial vault; and the inner meningeal layer which in most places is fused with the outer. The two layers separate to accommodate meningeal vessels and large venous (dural) sinuses. The meningeal layer is also involved in the formation of the various dural folds, such as the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli and is comparable to and continuous with the dural mater of the spinal cord. The cranial epidural space is then a potential space between the bone and the combined periosteum/periosteal layer of the dura mater realised only pathologically and is neither continuous with or comparable to the vertebral epidural space]
brain dura mater	UBERON_0002092	[The fibrous membrane forming the outer of the three coverings that surrounds the brain within the cranial cavity; consists of two layers including the periosteal layer and the meningeal layer.]
left adrenal gland medulla	UBERON_0035826	[the adrenal gland medulla that is in the left side of the abdomen]
adrenal medulla	UBERON_0001236	[the inner portion of the adrenal gland that consists mainly of chromaffin cells which produce, store and secrete neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and norepinephrine]
obsolete round ligament	UBERON_0010504
right adrenal gland cortex	UBERON_0035827	[the thick outer layer of the adrenal gland that is in the right side of the abdomen]
right adrenal gland	UBERON_0001233	[An adrenal gland that is in the right side of the abdomen]
right adrenal gland medulla	UBERON_0035828	[the adrenal gland medulla that is in the right side of the abdomen]
right gastroepiploic artery	UBERON_0035829	[Artery that runs from right to left along the greater curvature of the stomach, between the layers of the greater omentum, anastomosing with the left gastroepiploic branch of the splenic artery.]
UBERON_0010508	UBERON_0010508
mesenchyme of submandibular gland primordium	UBERON_0009539	[Mesenchyme that is part of a submandibular gland primordium.]
mesenchyme of lower jaw	UBERON_0003324	[Mesenchyme that is part of a developing lower jaw [Automatically generated definition].]
mesenchyme of sublingual gland primordium	UBERON_0009538	[Mesenchyme that is part of a sublingual gland primordium.]
