Label	Id	Description
heart blood vessel	UBERON_0003498	[A blood vessel that is part of a heart [Automatically generated definition].]
myocardium	UBERON_0002349	[the middle layer of the heart, comprised mainly of striated cardiac muscle fibers]
intermediate acoustic stria	UBERON_0002952	[White matter structure containing axons arising from cochlear nuclear complex (Brodal, Neurological Anatomy, 3rd ed, 1985, pg 609)]
stria of neuraxis	UBERON_0013199
lacrimal artery	UBERON_0001622	[The lacrimal artery arises close to the optic foramen, and is one of the largest branches derived from the ophthalmic artery: not infrequently it is given off before the artery enters the orbit. It accompanies the lacrimal nerve along the upper border of the Lateral Rectus, supplies the lacrimal gland. [WP,unvetted].]
lacrimal gland	UBERON_0001817	[The lacrimal glands are paired almond-shaped glands, located in or near the orbital region, that secrete the aqueous layer of the tear film.[WP].]
lateral lemniscus	UBERON_0002953	[A fiber bundle that runs through the medulla, pons and midbrain that arises in the cochlear nucleus and projects to various brainstem nuclei and ultimately the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain. The brainstem nuclei include the superior olive, the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body, and the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus. Fibers leaving these brainstem nuclei ascending to the inferior colliculus rejoin the lateral lemniscus. In that sense, this is not a 'lemniscus' in the true sense of the word (second order, decussated sensory axons), as there is third (and out of the lateral superior olive, fourth) order information coming out of some of these brainstem nuclei. Adapted from Wikipedia.org (MM).]
nervous system lemniscus	UBERON_0003001	[A bundle or band of sensory nerve fibers.]
obsolete predominantly gray regional part of substantia nigra	UBERON_0026921
maxillary artery	UBERON_0001616	[An artery that supplies deep structures of the face. It comes just out behind the neck of the mandible. [WP,unvetted].]
pharyngeal arch artery 1	UBERON_0003118	[The vessels formed within the first pair of branchial arches in embryogenesis]
frontal operculum	UBERON_0002947	[Portion of frontal lobe that overlaps the insular cortex (adapted from Wikipedia)]
operculum of brain	UBERON_0010262	[The most posterior portion of the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe in the brain. In an axial plane, the Sylvian fissure extends from the operculum posteriorly to divide the frontal from the temporal lobe. Broca's area is a notable part of the operculum, which plays a key role in conversation or speech production, reading and writing. Its vascular supply comes from the M3 branches of the middle cerebral artery[WP].]
mental artery	UBERON_0001617	[The mental branch of inferior alveolar artery escapes with the nerve at the mental foramen, supplies the chin, and anastomoses with the submental and inferior labial arteries. [WP,unvetted].]
inferior alveolar artery	UBERON_0014693
chin	UBERON_0008199	[A subdivision of the face that is the anteriormost part of the lower jaw region.]
superior occipital gyrus	UBERON_0002948
occipital gyrus	UBERON_0014640	[A gyrus that is part of a occipital lobe.]
buccal artery	UBERON_0001618	[The buccal artery (buccinator artery) is small and runs obliquely forward, between the Pterygoideus internus and the insertion of the Temporalis, to the outer surface of the Buccinator, to which it is distributed, anastomosing with branches of the external maxillary and with the infraorbital. [WP,unvetted].]
cheek	UBERON_0001567	[A fleshy subdivision of one side of the face bounded by an eye, ear and the nose.]
