Label	Id	Description
cortical intermediate zone	UBERON_0004040	[The region of the developing mammalian cortex that extends between the ventricular zone and the cortical plate (CP); normally, the IZ is a region of tangential migration of cells, and at midgestation, the lower part of the IZ develops into the subventricular zone]
muscle structure	UBERON_0005090	[Muscle structures are contractile cells, tissues or organs that are found in multicellular organisms[GO].]
muscle tissue	UBERON_0002385	[Muscle tissue is a contractile tissue made up of actin and myosin fibers[GO].]
archicortex	UBERON_0002961	[A portion of the cerebral cortex that, with the paleocortex, develops in association with the olfactory system, and which is phylogenetically older than the neocortex and lacks its layered structure. The embryonic archicortex corresponds to the cortex of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus in mature mammals. Being part of the limbic system, it has functions related to emotions and formation of memory. Signals being sent from the limbic lobe to the hippocampal formations can go via the archicortex as an intermediate.]
allocortex	UBERON_0014734	[One of two types of cerebral cortex defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture and fetal development. The other is neocortex. Allocortex does not pass through a prenatal phase of six-layered structure and has three or four layers in the mature brain ( Schiebler-1999 ). Allocortex has three subtypes: paleocortex, archicortex and periallocortex. This definition differs from that in some older sources, which excluded the olfactory bulb and the accessory olfactory bulb ( Carpenter-1983 ).]
limbic lobe	UBERON_0002600	[Part of cerebral hemisphere located on the medial surface, forming a ring around the brain stem]
thoracic duct	UBERON_0001631	[A major lymphatic vessel that drains lymph from the lower body, left appendage, and left thorax into the junction of the left jugular and subclavian veins.]
posterior cardinal vein	UBERON_0002065	[One of two paired cardinal veins that return blood from the body of the embryo[Kardong]]
body-wall mesenchyme	UBERON_0006210
adductor pollicis muscle	UBERON_0002962	[A muscle in the manus that functions to adduct the thumb. It has two heads: transverse and oblique. It is a fleshy, flat, triangular, and fan-shaped muscle deep in the thenar compartment beneath the long flexor tendons and the lumbrical muscles at the center of the palm. It overlies the metacarpal bones and the interosseous muscles[WP].]
muscle of manus	UBERON_0001500	[Any muscle organ that is part of a manus [Automatically generated definition].]
abductor pollicis brevis muscle	UBERON_0008465	[The abductor pollicis brevis is a muscle in the manus that functions as an abductor of the thumb.]
abductor pollicis longus	UBERON_0001527	[The Abductor pollicis longus lies immediately below the Supinator and is sometimes united with it. [WP,unvetted].]
ulnar sesamoid bone	UBERON_0007993
proximal epiphysis of proximal phalanx of manual digit 1	UBERON_0004445	[A proximal epiphysis that is part of a proximal phalanx of manual digit 1 [Automatically generated definition].]
caudal pontine reticular nucleus	UBERON_0002963	[The caudal pontine reticular nucleus is composed of gigantocellular neurons. In rabbits and cats it is exclusively giant cells, however in humans there are normally sized cells as well. The pontis caudalis is rostral to the gigantocellular nucleus and is located in the caudal pons, as the name would indicate. The pontis caudalis has been known to mediate head movement, in concert with the nucleus gigantocellularis and the superior colliculus. The neurons in the dorsal half of this nuclei fire rhythmically during mastication, and in an anesthetized animal it is possible to induce mastication via electrical stimulation of the PC or adjacent areas of the gigantocellular nucleus. The pontis caudalis is also thought to play a role in the grinding of teeth during sleep.]
nucleus of pontine reticular formation	UBERON_0007413	[A nucleus of brain that is part of a pontine reticular formation.]
basilar artery	UBERON_0001633	[A major artery that supplues the hindbrain and runs along the ventral keel of the hindbrain.]
branch of vertebral artery	UBERON_0035307
vertebral artery	UBERON_0001535	[the first branch of the left and right subclavian arteries that merge to form the single midline basilar artery; branches of the vertebral arteries supply the musculature of the neck]
