Label	Id	Description
optic disc	UBERON_0001783	[The optic disc or optic nerve head is the location where ganglion cell axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve. There are no light sensitive rods or cones to respond to a light stimulus at this point. This causes a break in the visual field called 'the blind spot' or the 'physiological blind spot'. The optic nerve head in a normal human eye carries from 1 to 1.2 million neurons from the eye towards the brain. [WP,unvetted].]
cranial nerve II	UBERON_0000941	[Cranial nerve fiber tract which is comprised of retinal ganglion cell axons running posterior medially towards the optic chiasm, at which some of the axons cross the midline and after which the structure is termed the optic tract. Transmits visual information from the retina to the brain[ZFA].]
decidua basalis	UBERON_0000453	[Area of uterine endometrium found between the implanted chorionic vesicle and the myometrium.]
decidua	UBERON_0002450	[The maternal uterine-derived portion of the placenta]
obsolete decidual cell	UBERON_0000449
septum of telencephalon	UBERON_0000446	[Gray matter structure located on the midline of the forebrain consisting of the septum pellucidum (in some species) and the septal nuclei (Heimer, 1996).]
cerebral hemisphere gray matter	UBERON_0005401	[A gray matter that is part of a cerebral hemisphere.]
substantia propria of cornea	UBERON_0001777	[the lamellated connective tissue of the cornea between the Bowman and Descemet membranes]
stroma	UBERON_0003891	[Connective, non-functional supportive framework of a biological cell, tissue, or organ. Contrast with parenchyma.]
anterior limiting lamina of cornea	UBERON_0004370	[A transparent homogeneous acellular layer, 6 to 9 um thick, lying between the basal lamina of the outer layer of stratified epithelium and the substantia propria of the cornea; it is considered to be a basement membrane.]
Descemet's membrane	UBERON_0004367	[A transparent homogeneous acellular layer found between the substantia propria and the endothelial layer of the cornea[MP].]
ciliary epithelium	UBERON_0001778	[A double layer covering the ciliary body that produces aqueous humor.]
aqueous humor of eyeball	UBERON_0001796	[A thick watery refractive medium that fills the space between the lens and the cornea[WP].]
iris stroma	UBERON_0001779	[The delicate vascular connective tissue that lies between the anterior surface of the iris and the pars iridica retinae.]
endothelium of peritubular capillary	UBERON_0012441	[A endothelium that is part of a peritubular capillary.]
endothelium of capillary	UBERON_0001915	[An endothelium that is part of a capillary [Automatically generated definition].]
kidney epithelium	UBERON_0004819	[the cellular avascular layer of the kidney luminar surfaces]
peritubular capillary	UBERON_0005272	[the tiny blood vessels that receive blood from the efferent arterioles of the glomerulus, and interact with superficial cortical nephrons allowing reabsorption and secretion between blood and the inner lumen of the nephron; peritubular capillaries are situated around the tubule and are at low pressure]
humeroulnar joint	UBERON_0011110	[The humeroulnar joint, is part of the elbow-joint or the Olecron Joint, between the ulna and humerus bones is the simple hinge-joint, which allows for movements of flexion, extension and circumduction. The Humero-Ulnar Joint is the junction of trochlear notch of the ulna and the trochlea of the humerus. Owing to the obliquity of the trochlea of the humerus, this movement does not take place in the antero-posterior plane of the body of the humerus. When the forearm is extended and supinated, the axis of the arm and forearm are not in the same line; the arm forms an obtuse angle with the forearm. During flexion, however, the forearm and the hand tend to approach the middle line of the body, and thus enable the hand to be easily carried to the face. The accurate adaptation of the trochlea of the humerus, with its prominences and depressions, to the semilunar notch of the ulna, prevents any lateral movement. Flexion is produced by the action of the Biceps brachii and Brachialis, assisted by the Brachioradialis, with a tiny contribution from the muscles arising from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Extension is produced by the Triceps brachii and AnconC&us, with a tiny contribution from the muscles arising from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, such as the Extensor digitorum communis.]
forelimb joint	UBERON_0003839	[A limb joint that is part of a forelimb [Automatically generated definition].]
