Label	Id	Description
inferior nasal meatus	UBERON_0015220	[The inferior meatus, the largest of the three meatuses of the nose, is the space between the inferior concha and the floor of the nasal cavity. It extends almost the entire length of the lateral wall of the nose, is broader in front than behind, and presents anteriorly the lower orifice of the nasolacrimal canal.]
phlegm	UBERON_0016552	[mucus produced in the respiratory tract.]
common nasal meatus	UBERON_0015221
bulbar spiral septum	UBERON_0015226
peristaltic circulatory vessel	UBERON_0015227	[A vessel down which passes a wave of muscular contraction, that forces the flow of haemolymphatic fluid.]
ventral nasal meatus	UBERON_0015222	[The ventral nasal meatus is found between the ventral nasal concha and the dorsal surface of the hard palate.It connects the nasal vestibule with the nasopharynx. Rostrally it is narrow at the nasal vestibule and widens caudally towards the nasopharyngeal meatus. The ventral nasal meatus is the main passage for air. Apart from olfaction, the nasal cavity functions to warm the inhaled air as it passes through the meatuses over the vascular beds of the mucosa. The air is humidified by the vaporization of tears and serous nasal secretion. The air is cleaned throughout the scattered mucous glands. These glands secrete mucous through the nasal cavity and the mucous serves to trap the large particles that come into contact with it. PPP Clinically in the horse the ventral nasal meatus is the main passage through which a stomach tube can be passed to the pharynx and oesophagus and then to the stomach. This kind of a tube is commonly used when drenching a horse for colic, as well as having many other veterinary applications. The tube has to pass through the ventral nasal meatus to the nasopharyngeal meatus and the caudal nares to reach the pharynx and oesophagus. If the tube is accidentally passed into the dorsal or middle nasal meatuses it would pass to the ethmotubinates and cause massive haemorrhage.]
respiratory system mucus	UBERON_0016553	[Any mucus produced by a mucosae of the respiratory system. This includes the mucus produced in the nasal cavity (nasal mucus) and mucus produced in the respiratory tract (phlegm).]
dorsal nasal meatus	UBERON_0015223	[The dosal nasal meatus is a narrow passage bounded dorsally by the roof of the nasal cavity and ventrally by the dorsal concha. It terminates caudally at the junction of the inner plate of the frontal bone with the cribiform plate and lateral mass of the ethmoid bone. It is the shortest and shallowest of the three meatuses.]
interventricular foramen intermedium	UBERON_0015224	[A anatomical conduit that is part of a ventricular septum intermedium.]
atrial foramen intermedium	UBERON_0015225	[A anatomical conduit that is part of a atrial septum intermedium.]
tracheal primordium	UBERON_6005037	[Primordium of a single tracheal metamere of the embryonic/larval tracheal system from its appearance as a placode during stage 11 to the completion of fusion with adjacent tracheal metameres in stage 15/16. There are 10 pairs of tracheal primordia - one pair in each segment from T2 to A8. Each tracheal primordium originates as a slight depression in the lateral ectoderm during stage 10 known as a tracheal placode. During stage 11, these placodes invaginate to form tracheal pits that elongate and branch. These pits close over during stage 13. Fusion of tracheal primordia begins at stage 14 with fusion of the dorsal trunk primordia and is complete by early stage 16.]
presumptive embryonic/larval tracheal system	UBERON_6005569	[The sum of all the structures in the embryo that will develop into the embryonic/larval tracheal system. This corresponds to the tracheal primordia and their component tracheal branch primordia along with primordia of the spiracles.]
tracheal pit	UBERON_6005036	[Deep and narrow pit formed by the invagination of a tracheal placode in a late extended germ band embryo. Invagination of the placode begins during stage 11. Branches begin to bud from the pit during stage 11, with a dorsal and ventral stem being apparent by mid-stage 12. The pit closes over during stage 13. There are 10 pairs of tracheal pits - one pair in each tracheal metamere (each segment from T2 to A8). Pits are located in the central one third of each parasegment, with the most anterior in parasegment 4 and the most posterior in parasegment 14.]
skeletal muscle tissue of internal intercostal muscle	UBERON_0004513	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a internal intercostal muscle [Automatically generated definition].]
internal intercostal muscle	UBERON_0002403	[An intercostal muscle that aids in forced expiration (quiet expiration is a passive process).]
skeletal muscle tissue of supraspinatus	UBERON_0004512	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a supraspinatus [Automatically generated definition].]
supraspinatus muscle	UBERON_0002383	[The supraspinatus is a relatively small muscle of the upper limb that takes its name from its origin from the supraspinous fossa superior to the spine of the scapula. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and also abducts the arm at the shoulder. The spine of the scapula separates the supraspinatus muscle from the infraspinatus muscle, which originates below the spine. [WP,unvetted].]
smooth muscle tissue of bronchiole	UBERON_0004515	[A portion of smooth muscle tissue that is part of a bronchiole [Automatically generated definition].]
skeletal muscle tissue of transversus thoracis	UBERON_0004514	[A portion of skeletal muscle tissue that is part of a transversus thoracis [Automatically generated definition].]
transversus thoracis	UBERON_0002404	[The tranversus thoracis lies internal to the thoracic cage, anteriorly. It is a thin plane of muscular and tendinous fibers, situated upon the inner surface of the front wall of the chest. It is in the same layer as the subcostal muscles. It arises on either side from the lower third of the posterior surface of the body of the sternum, from the posterior surface of the xiphoid process, and from the sternal ends of the costal cartilages of the lower three or four true ribs. Its fibers diverge upward and lateralward, to be inserted by slips into the lower borders and inner surfaces of the costal cartilages of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs. The lowest fibers of this muscle are horizontal in their direction, and are continuous with those of the Transversus abdominis; the intermediate fibers are oblique, while the highest are almost vertical. This muscle varies in its attachments, not only in different subjects, but on opposite sides of the same subject. [WP,unvetted].]
