Label	Id	Description
cephalic vein	UBERON_0001106	[A superficial vein of the upper limb that communicates with the basilic vein via the median cubital vein at the elbow and is located in the superficial fascia along the anterolateral surface of the biceps brachii muscle. Superiorly the cephalic vein passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles and through the deltopectoral triangle, where it empties into the axillary vein. It is often visible through the skin, and its location in the deltopectoral groove is fairly consistent, making this site a good candidate for cannulation. It is often referred to as the 'House-man's Friend' for this reason and is generally a good place for cannulaton when a large bore cannula needs to be sited. [WP,modified].]
ventral tegmental nucleus	UBERON_0002438	[A nucleus of brain that is part of a ventral tegmental area.]
sternohyoid muscle	UBERON_0001107	[The sternohyoid muscle is a thin, narrow muscle attaching the hyoid bone to the sternum, one of the paired strap muscles of the infrahyoid muscles serving to depress the hyoid bone. It is innervated by the ansa cervicalis. The muscle arises from the posterior border of the medial end of the clavicle, the posterior sternoclavicular ligament, and the upper and posterior part of the manubrium sterni. Passing upward and medially, it is inserted by short tendinous fibers into the lower border of the body of the hyoid bone. [WP,unvetted].]
omohyoid muscle	UBERON_0001108	[The omohyoid muscle is a muscle at the front of the neck that consists of two bellies separated by an intermediate tendon. It belongs to the group of infrahyoid muscles. [WP,unvetted].]
sternothyroid muscle	UBERON_0001109	[The Sternothyreoideus (or Sternothyroid muscle) is shorter and wider than the Sternohyoideus, beneath which it is situated. It arises from the posterior surface of the manubrium sterni, below the origin of the Sternohyoideus, and from the edge of the cartilage of the first rib, and sometimes that of the second rib, it is inserted into the oblique line on the lamina of the thyroid cartilage. This muscle is in close contact with its fellow at the lower part of the neck, but diverges somewhat as it ascends; it is occasionally traversed by a transverse or oblique tendinous inscription. [WP,unvetted].]
greater sciatic notch	UBERON_0014411	[On the dorsal border of the wing of the ilium , at it's junction with the shaft is a cut away. This forms the Greater sciatic notch. The sciatic nerve runs over the notch in passage to the hindlimb.]
sciatic notch	UBERON_0014430	[Either of two notches on the dorsal border of the hip bone on each side that when closed off by ligaments form the corresponding sciatic foramina.]
fibularis quartus	UBERON_0014410
obsolete fast muscle cell somite 10	UBERON_2000750
epaxial region somite 8	UBERON_2000751	[Somite-derived body wall muscle present dorsal to the horizontal myoseptum. Kimmel et al, 1995.]
chin ventral margin	UBERON_1000000	[Subdivision of the head consisting of the area along the lower edge of the chin.]
cranial midline area	UBERON_1000002	[The middle part of the head, located approximately equidistant from the left and the right sides of the head.]
