Label	Id	Description
digestive system element	UBERON_0013765	[Any of the organs or elements that are part of the digestive system. Examples: tongue, esophagus, spleen, crop, lunge feeding organ, tooth elements.]
pharyngeal arch system	UBERON_0008814	[A transient embryonic complex that comprises the pharyngeal arches, bulges of tissues of mesoderm and neural crest derivation through which pass nerves and pharyngeal arch arteries. The arches are separated internally by pharyngeal pouches, evaginations of foregut endoderm, and externally by pharyngeal clefts, invaginations of surface ectoderm. The development of the system ends when the stucture it contributes to are forming, which may include (depending on species) the thymus, thyroid, parathyroids, maxilla, mandible, aortic arch, cardiac outflow tract, external and middle ear[GO,modified].]
future tongue	UBERON_0010056	[A compound organ that has the potential to develop into a tongue.]
digestive system	UBERON_0001007	[Anatomical system that has as its parts the organs devoted to the ingestion, digestion, and assimilation of food and the discharge of residual wastes.]
oral opening	UBERON_0000166	[The orifice that connects the mouth to the exterior of the body.]
lingual swellings	UBERON_0006260
median lingual swelling	UBERON_0006756	[During the third week of embryological development there appears, immediately behind the ventral ends of the two halves of the mandibular arch, a rounded swelling named the tuberculum impar, which was described by His as undergoing enlargement to form the buccal part of the tongue. More recent researches, however, show that this part of the tongue is mainly, if not entirely, developed from a pair of lateral swellings which rise from the inner surface of the mandibular arch and meet in the middle line. The site of their meeting remains post-embryonically as the median sulcus of the tongue. The tuberculum impar is said to form the central part of the tongue immediately in front of the foramen cecum, but Hammar insists that it is purely a transitory structure and forms no part of the adult tongue[WP, Gray's].]
lateral lingual swelling	UBERON_0006757	[During the third week there appears, immediately behind the ventral ends of the two halves of the mandibular arch, a rounded swelling named the tuberculum impar, which was described by His as undergoing enlargement to form the buccal part of the tongue. More recent researches, however, show that this part of the tongue is mainly, if not entirely, developed from a pair of lateral swellings (or distal tongue bud) which rise from the inner surface of the mandibular arch and meet in the middle line.]
mouth	UBERON_0000165	[The proximal portion of the digestive tract, containing the oral cavity and bounded by the oral opening. In vertebrates, this extends to the pharynx and includes gums, lips, tongue and parts of the palate. Typically also includes the teeth, except where these occur elsewhere (e.g. pharyngeal jaws) or protrude from the mouth (tusks).]
sphenoidal sinus	UBERON_0001724	[One of the paired paranasal sinuses, located in the body of the sphenoid bone and communicating with the highest meatus of the nasal cavity on the same side[MESH]. The sphenoidal sinuses (or sphenoid) contained within the body of the sphenoid vary in size and shape; owing to the lateral displacement of the intervening septum they are rarely symmetrical. The following are their average measurements: vertical height, 2.2 cm. ; transverse breadth, 2 cm. ; antero-posterior depth, 2.2 cm. [WP,unvetted].]
paranasal sinus	UBERON_0001825	[the paired air-filled cavities surrounded by the bones of the face that are lined by mucous membranes and are continuous with the nasal cavity]
skull	UBERON_0003129	[Anatomical structure that is part of the head consisting entirely of cranium and mandible[WP].]
body of sphenoid	UBERON_0009639	[The body of the sphenoid bone, more or less cubical in shape, is hollowed out in its interior to form two large cavities, the sphenoidal air sinuses, which are separated from each other by a septum.]
cranial synchondrosis	UBERON_0001725	[The cartilaginous joints of the skull; these include sphenoethmoidal synchondrosis, sphenooccipital synchondrosis, sphenopetrosal synchondrosis, petrooccipital synchondrosis, anterior intraoccipital synchondrosis and posterior intraoccipital synchondrosis.]
synchondrosis	UBERON_0002215	[Cartilaginous joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by hyaline cartilage. Examples: spheno-occipital synchondrosis, first sternocostal joint.[FMA]]
axial musculature	UBERON_0013700	[Musculature of the head and neck, spine, and ribs.]
musculature	UBERON_0001015	[A subdivision of the muscular system corresponding to a subdisivision of an organism.]
axial skeleton plus cranial skeleton	UBERON_0005944	[Subdivision of skeleton which consists of cranial skeleton, set of all vertebrae, set of all ribs and sternum[FMA, modified].]
metatarsus	UBERON_6004648	[The first of the tarsal segments of the adult leg. It is located between the tibia and the second tarsal segment and is longer than the other tarsal segments. It has 8 longitudinal rows of bristles around the circumference.]
tarsal segment	UBERON_6004646	[A segment of the tarsus of the adult leg. The first tarsal segment, the metatarsus, is proximally connected to the tibia. Tarsal segments are covered in 8 longitudinal rows of bristles, with row 1 being the most ventral.]
