Label	Id	Description
frontal cortex	UBERON_0001870	[Anterior portion of the neocortex, lying anterior to the central sulcus in humans. It is bounded by the parietal cortex posteriorly and the temporal cortex laterally[NIFSTD,modified].]
nerve of head region	UBERON_0011779	[A nerve that is part of a head.]
spinal nerve	UBERON_0001780	[the any of the paired peripheral nerves formed by the union of the dorsal and ventral spinal roots from each spinal cord segment[MP,modified]]
cranial neural crest	UBERON_0003099	[neural crest cells (NCCs) originating in the anterior part of the developing embryo and residing between the mid-diencephalon and the forming hindbrain; cranial NCCs migrate dorsolaterally to form the craniofacial mesenchyme that differentiates into various craniofacial cartilages and bones, cranial neurons, glia, and connective tissues of the face; these cells enter the pharyngeal pouches and arches where they give rise to thymic cells, bones of the middle ear and jaw (mandible), and the odontoblasts of the tooth primordia; like their counterparts in the trunk, cranial NCCs also contribute to the developing peripheral nervous system, along with the pigmented cell (i.e. melanocyte) lineage.]
corpus albicans	UBERON_0000450	[White fibrous tissue that replaces the regressing corpus luteum in the human ovary in the latter half of pregnancy, or soon after ovulation when pregnancy does not supervene.]
mature ovarian follicle	UBERON_0003982	[.]
fovea centralis	UBERON_0001786	[A depression in the inner retinal surface within the macula lutea, the photoreceptor layer of which is entirely cones and which is specialized for maximum visual acuity]
macula lutea	UBERON_0000053	[An oval area in the retina, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototopic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid. (From Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)]
photoreceptor layer of retina	UBERON_0001787	[The layer within the retina where the photoreceptor cell receptor segments reside.]
layer of retina	UBERON_0001781	[Any of the layers that make up the retina[MP].]
outer limiting layer of retina	UBERON_0001788	[The row of jucntional complexes between the plasma membranes of rod segments and the Muller glia cells; this barrier separates the layer of inner and outer segments of the rods and cones from the outer nuclear layer and forms a blood-retina barrier[MP].]
retinal neural layer	UBERON_0003902	[The part of the retina that contains neurons and photoreceptor cells[GO].]
secretion of exocrine gland	UBERON_0000456	[A portion of organism substance that is produced by exocrine glands.]
nerve	UBERON_0001021	[An enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system originating in a nerve root in the central nervous system (or a condensed nervous structure) connecting with peripheral structures.]
spinal cord	UBERON_0002240	[Part of the central nervous system located in the vertebral canal continuous with and caudal to the brain; demarcated from brain by plane of foramen magnum. It is composed of an inner core of gray matter in which nerve cells predominate, and an outer layer of white matter in which myelinated nerve fibers predominate, and surrounds the central canal. (CUMBO)]
nervous system cell part layer	UBERON_0022303	[Single layer of a laminar structure, identified by different density, arrangement or size of cells and processes arranged in flattened layers or lamina[CUMBO].]
cerebral subcortex	UBERON_0000454	[The layer located below the cerebral cortex that includes the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain.]
pigmented layer of retina	UBERON_0001782	[A monolayer of pigmented epithelium covering the neural retina; develops from the outer of the two layers of the optic cup[ZFA]. the pigmented cell layer just outside the neurosensory retina that nourishes retinal visual cells, and is firmly attached to the underlying choroid and overlying retinal visual cells[WP].]
lamina	UBERON_0000957	[Any thin layer or plate.]
presumptive retinal pigmented epithelium	UBERON_0005424	[Portion of tissue that is the outer layer of the optic cup and will become the retinal pigmented epithelium.]
