Label	Id	Description
cortex of manus bone	UBERON_0005809	[The outer or sperficial part of a bone of the manus.]
rostral ventrolateral medulla	UBERON_0005807	[Control of blood pressure is crucially dependent on the integrity of a small region of the brainstem called the ventrolateral medulla. Within this part of the brain are the cells that control the heart, blood vessels, swallowing, breathing and many other functions of the body that are not noticed at a conscious level; such unconscious activities are known as 'Autonomic'. One of these regions is the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla (RVLM) is also known as the pressor area of the medulla (medulla pressor). It receives inhibitory GABAergic input from the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). The RVLM is the primary regulator of the sympathetic nervous system, sending excitatory fibers (catecholaminergic) to the sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the spinal cord, via reticulospinal tract[WP].]
arcus praeoccipitalis	UBERON_3000640	[Skeletal structure that separates the inferior and superior perilymphatic foramina.]
tectum nasi	UBERON_3000601	[Roof of the nasal capsule, confluent with lamina orbitonasalis posteriorly and united to septum nasi.]
gracile fasciculus	UBERON_0005821	[A group of axons that are from neurons involved in proprioception from the lower trunk and lower limb[GO]. The fasciculus gracilis (tract of Goll) is a bundle of axon fibres in the dorsomedial spinal cord that carries information about fine touch, vibrations, and conscious proprioception from the lower part of the body to the brain stem. It is part of the posterior column of the spinal cord, which also contains the fasciculus cuneatus, which carries the same information from the upper part of the body. This tract and its continuation in the brain stem is often referred to as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The fasciculus gracilis is wedge-shaped on transverse section and lies next the posterior median septum, its base being at the surface of the medulla spinalis, and its apex directed toward the posterior gray commissure. It increases in size from below upward, and consists of long thin fibers that are derived from the posterior nerve roots, and ascend as far as the medulla oblongata, where they end in the nucleus gracilis. The tract of Goll was named after Swiss neuroanatomist Friedrich Goll[WP].]
pontine flexure	UBERON_0005820	[A dorsally concave bend of the embryonic rhombencephalon that produces a thinning of the roof of the pons and medulla oblongata and defines the boundary between the metencephalon and myelencephalon in the embryo[MP].]
neuraxis flexure	UBERON_0005817	[An anatomical structure that is regional part of the central nervous system where there is a significant bend of the axis.]
tentacular foramen	UBERON_3000605
cephalic midbrain flexure	UBERON_0005818	[A sharp, ventrally concave bend in the developing midbrain of the embryo[MP].]
cervical flexure	UBERON_0005819	[A ventrally concave flexure of the embryonic brain occurring at the junction of hindbrain and spinal cord[MP].]
posterior tubercle of transverse process of cervical vertebra	UBERON_0005816	[The posterior arch of a cervical vertebra forms about two-fifths of the circumference of the ring: it ends behind in the posterior tubercle, which is the rudiment of a spinous process and gives origin to the Recti capitis posteriores minores. The diminutive size of this process prevents any interference with the movements between the atlas and the skull.]
anterior tubercle of transverse process of cervical vertebra	UBERON_0005815	[The anterior arch forms about one-fifth of the ring: its anterior surface is convex, and presents at its center the anterior tubercle for the attachment of the Longus colli muscles.]
trochlear foramen	UBERON_3000610
skeletal muscle tissue of biceps brachii	UBERON_0004502	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a biceps brachii [Automatically generated definition].]
cuneate fasciculus of spinal cord	UBERON_0005835	[An axon tract in the spinal cord which primarily transmits information from the forelimb and trunk. It is part of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway.]
fasciculus of spinal cord	UBERON_0005837	[A fascicle that is part of a spinal cord.]
cuneate fasciculus	UBERON_0005832	[An axon tract in the spinal cord and medulla which primarily transmits information from the forelimb and trunk. It is part of the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway.]
skeletal muscle tissue of teres major	UBERON_0004501	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a teres major [Automatically generated definition].]
skeletal muscle tissue of mylohyoid	UBERON_0004504	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a mylohyoid [Automatically generated definition].]
skeletal muscle tissue of digastric	UBERON_0004503	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a digastric [Automatically generated definition].]
