Label	Id	Description
chorioallantoic membrane	UBERON_0005335	[The chorioallantoic membrane is a vascular membrane found in eggs of some amniotes, such as birds and reptiles. It is formed by the fusion of the mesodermal layers of two developmental structures: the allantois and the chorion. Three different layers compose the chorioallantoic membrane; these are called the chorionic epithelium, the mesenchyme and the allantoic epithelium. Blood capillaries and sinuses are found between epithelial cells of the chorionic layer, allowing close contact (within 0.2 N<m) with air found in pores of the shell membrane of the egg. As a result, the chorioallantoic membrane allows exchange of gases, such as oxygen, to developing embryos. During embryonic development of birds, the chorioallantoic membrane also plays an essential role in bone formation by transporting calcium into the embryo from the eggshell. Chorioalloantoic membranes from developing chicken eggs are routinely used in biological and biomedical research to investigate development, angiogenesis, tumors, and to propagate and investigate viruses or helminths.]
cerebellum lobule	UBERON_0004004	[one of the the ten gyri of the cerebellar cortex]
pituitary fossa	UBERON_0006667	[Anatomical cavity that is part of the sella turcica and contains the pituitary gland.]
capillary layer of choroid	UBERON_0005336	[The capillary lamina of choroid or choriocapillaris is a layer of capillaries that is immediately adjacent to Bruch's membrane in the choroid.]
UBERON_0004005	UBERON_0004005
greater palatine artery	UBERON_0006664	[The greater palatine artery is a terminal branch of the maxillary artery. It branches off of the maxillary artery in the pterygopalatine fossa and descends through the greater palatine foramen along with the greater palatine nerve and supplies the hard palate. It also anastomosis through the incisive canal with the sphenopalatine artery to supply the nasal cavity.]
prepollical element	UBERON_4200140	[Is a endochondral element that is part of the mesopodial skeleton and is contained within the prepollex which in some taxa appears as a pre-axial digit-like projection anterior to the first digit of the hand.]
accessory hemiazygos vein	UBERON_0006665	[The accessory hemiazygos vein (vena azygos minor superior) is a vein on the left side of the vertebral column that generally drains the fifth through eighth intercostal spaces on the left side of the body[WP].]
mucosa of oral region	UBERON_0003343	[A mucosa that is part of a oral opening [Automatically generated definition].]
palatoquadrate element	UBERON_4200139	[Endochondral element that is part of the suspensorium sometimes ossifying distally as the quadrate bone and linking the basal section of the braincase to the lower jaw. ]
triphycercal tail	UBERON_4200136	[A caudal fin with three lobes.]
obsolete upper primary canine tooth	UBERON_0018632
mandibular canal	UBERON_0006673	[A canal within the mandible that contains the inferior alveolar nerve, inferior alveolar artery, and inferior alveolar vein. It runs obliquely downward and forward in the ramus, and then horizontally forward in the body, where it is placed under the alveoli and communicates with them by small openings]

primary muscle spindle	UBERON_0004010	[The sensory organ in muscle; involved in the stretch reflex and sensitive to stretch velocity]
muscle spindle	UBERON_0003718	[The sensory organs in muscle that are involved in the stretch reflex.]
inguinal canal	UBERON_0003702	[the passage in the lower abdominal wall through which the spermatic cord in the male or the round ligament in the female, nerves and vessels pass from the pelvic cavity to the scrotum or labia majora, respectively]

golgi tendon organ	UBERON_0004012	[The sensory organ in muscle that is involved in regulating muscle tension]
secondary muscle spindle	UBERON_0004011	[The sensory organ in muscle; involved in the stretch reflex and not sensitive to stretch velocity]
