Label	Id	Description
velar vocal fold	UBERON_0014916	[On of a pair of medial protrusions of the intra-pharyngeal ostium (an oval opening within the soft palate that connects the oral and nasal portions of the pharynx), used in vocalization in Koalas.]
vocal organ	UBERON_0034681	[Any organ that is the primary organ of vocalization behavior. Examples: The laryngeal vocal cord (humans), the syrinx (birds).]
genu of facial nerve	UBERON_0014915	[The bend in the facial nerve at the lateral end of the internal acoustic meatus.]
tract of brain	UBERON_0007702	[An axon tract that is part of a brain.]
pontine tegmentum	UBERON_0003023	[Dorsal portion of the pons, containing cranial nervee nuclei, ascending and descending tracts and reticular nuclei. It is continuous with the reticular formation of the medulla (Carpenter, A Core Text of Neuroanatomy, 3rd ed, 1985, pg 133).]
tectopontine tract	UBERON_0002930
tensor tympani	UBERON_0001600	[The larger of the two muscles of the tympanic cavity, is contained in the bony canal above the osseous portion of the auditory tube. Its role is to dampen sounds produced from chewing. It arises from the cartilaginous portion of the auditory tube and the adjoining part of the great wing of the sphenoid, as well as from the osseous canal in which it is contained. Passing backward through the canal, it ends in a slender tendon which enters the tympanic cavity, makes a sharp bend around the extremity of the septum, known as the processus cochleariformis[1], and is inserted into the manubrium of the malleus, near its root[WP].]
muscle of auditory ossicle	UBERON_0004113	[A muscle of the tympanic cavity that attaches to an auditory ossicle.]
trigeminal nerve muscle	UBERON_0018544	[Muscle innervated by the trigeminal nerve (Cranial Nerve V).]
tensor tympani pre-muscle condensation	UBERON_0010935
mandibular nerve	UBERON_0000375	[The motor and sensory nerve subdivision of the trigeminal nerve that transmits sensory information from the auricle, the external acoustic meatus, tympanic membrane, temporal region, the cheek, the skin overlying the mandible, the anterior portion of the tongue, the floor of the mouth, lower teeth and gingiva and transmits motor information from the muscles of mastication, the mylohyoid muscle and digastric muscle and the muscles tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini.]
manubrium of malleus	UBERON_0006722	[The handle of the malleus; the portion that extends downward, inward, and backward from the neck of the malleus; it is embedded throughout its length in the tympanic membrane.]
pharyngotympanic tube	UBERON_0002393	[Organ with organ cavity which connects the cavity of the middle ear to the cavity of the pharynx. Examples: There are only two pharyngotympanic tubes, the right and the left pharyngotympanic tubes.[FMA]]
malleus bone	UBERON_0001689	[The malleus or hammer is a hammer-shaped small bone or ossicle of the middle ear which connects with the incus and is attached to the inner surface of the eardrum. The word is Latin for hammer. It transmits the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus. The malleus is unique to mammals, and evolved from a lower jaw bone in basal amniotes called the articular, which still forms part of the jaw joint in reptiles. Embryologically it is derived from the first pharyngeal arch along with the rest of the bones of mastication, such as the maxilla and mandible. [WP,unvetted].]
dorsal septal nucleus	UBERON_0002931
septal nuclear complex	UBERON_0002663	[Collection of nerve cells in the medial forebrain lying generally in front of the anterior commissure (Maryann Martone).]
trigeminal nucleus	UBERON_0002925	[A nucleus of brain that is part of a trigeminal nuclear complex.]
cranial nerve nucleus	UBERON_0000126	[Nucleus that receives projections from or contains neurons that send projections through one of the cranial nerves]
trigeminal nerve	UBERON_0001645	[Cranial nerve that has three branches - the ophthalmic (supplying the skin of the nose and upper jaw), the maxillary and the mandibular (supplying the lower jaw).]
trigeminal nuclear complex	UBERON_0007641	[The sensory trigeminal nerve nuclei are the largest of the cranial nerve nuclei, and extend through the whole of the midbrain, pons and medulla. There is also a distinct trigeminal motor nucleus that is medial to the chief sensory nucleus[WP].]
