Label	Id	Description
compressor glandulae muscle	UBERON_0013114	[A prominent compressor muscle found in poisonous snakes that originates in the lower jaw, sweeps around the venom gland, and inserted on the gland's surface. The muscles acts to squeeze the gland and release venom.]
acetabular fossa	UBERON_0014445	[The acetabular fossa is the roughened depression in the centre of the acetabulum, surrounded by the lunate acetabular surface and the acetabular notch. The acetabular fossa provides an insertion point for the teres ligaments that secure the femoral head.]
ceratobranchial I	UBERON_3000955	[Paired bar that articulates with, or is fused to, hypobranchial I. It forms the posterior portion of the posterior cornu of the hyoid.]
hypobranchial II	UBERON_3000956	[Paired bar that articulates anteriorly with basibranchial I and posteriorly with ceratobranchials II--IV.]
ceratobranchials II--IV	UBERON_3000953	[Paired bars that articulate with hypobranchial II. Reduction of loss of these elements is common in salamanders.]
hypobranchial I	UBERON_3000954	[Paired bar that articulates with basibranchial I. It forms the anterior portion of the posterior cornu of the hyoid.]
anterior radial	UBERON_3000951	[Paired, horn-like processes of basibranchial I that protrude in an antero-dorso-lateral direction, being more or less embedded in the tongue musculature. These elements contitute the hypohyals.]
posterior radial	UBERON_3000952	[Paired, horn-like processes of basibranchial I that protrude in an antero-dorso-lateral direction, being more or less embedded in the tongue musculature. They arise secondarily during metamorphosis, and are therefore not strictly part of the visceral skeleton.]
os triangulare	UBERON_3000950	[Small, broadly triangular bar of bone lying across the ventral side of the pharynx at the junction of the M. genio-hyoideus and the M. rectus cervicis superficialis.]
intestine secretion	UBERON_0002466	[Clear to pale yellow watery secretions from the glands lining the small intestine walls. Secretion is stimulated by the mechanical pressure of partly digested food in the intestine.]
filiform papilla	UBERON_0002467	[The filiform papillae are thin, long 'V'-shaped cones that don't contain taste buds but are the most numerous. These papillae are mechanical and not involved in gustation covering most of the dorsum (upper surface). They are small and arranged in lines parallel to the V-shaped row of circumvallate papillae, except at the tip of the tongue where they are aligned transversely. Projecting from their apices are numerous filamentous processes, or secondary papillae. These are of a whitish tint, owing to the thickness and density of the epithelium of which they are composed. This epithelium has undergone a peculiar modification as the cells have become cornified and elongated into dense, imbricated, brush-like processes. They contain also a number of elastic fibers, which render them firmer and more elastic than the papillae of mucous membrane generally. The larger and longer papillae of this group are sometimes termed papillae conicae. Fungiform papillae are found dispersed throughout the filiform papillae. [WP,unvetted].]
foliate papilla	UBERON_0002468	[Any of the papillae located on the sides of the tongue]
obsolete basihyal	UBERON_3000957	[Paired, anterior element that articulates medially with basibranchial I and posterolaterally with the paired hypohyals.]
f17c9aff-4a92-418e-989f-b8e9dd62caf6	f17c9aff-4a92-418e-989f-b8e9dd62caf6
mixed stratified cuboidal and columnar epithelium	UBERON_0015760	[Multilaminar epithelium, which consists of more than one layer of cuboidal and columnar cells, only one layer of which is in contact with a basement membrane. Examples: epithelium of wall of pancreatic duct, epithelium of wall of duct of salivary gland.]
inferior palpebral vein	UBERON_0002459	[A blood vessel that drains from from an lower eyelid.]
sternocleidomastoid	UBERON_0001128	[A paired muscle in the superficial layers of the anterior portion of the neck. It acts to flex and rotate the head. It also acts as an accessory muscle of inspiration, along with the scalene muscles of the neck. [WP,unvetted].]
subscapularis muscle	UBERON_0001129	[The subscapularis is a large triangular muscle which fills the subscapular fossa and inserts into the lesser tubercle of the humerus and the front of the capsule of the shoulder-joint. [WP,unvetted].]
subscapular fossa	UBERON_4200038	[A marked depression on the medial side of the scapula blade, often opposite the glenoid region.]
epithelium of duct of salivary gland	UBERON_0015766	[A epithelium that is part of a duct of salivary gland.]
