All terms in UBERON

Label	Id	Description
cardiac Purkinje fiber	UBERON_0002354	[The cardiac Purkinje fiber is part of the cardiac conduction system that receives signals from the bundle of His and innervates the ventricular cardiac muscle]
obsolete dendrite	UBERON_0001023	[The region of a neuron receiving inputs from other neurons, typically a slender neurite, often branched. In insect neurons, this is often not a clear designation and often presynaptic sites co-extend with postsynaptic ones.]
obsolete neurite	UBERON_0001024	[One of the processes or extensions of a neuron, axon or dendrite or cell body fiber. // Cell appendage of the neuron which includes the axon and the dendrite.]
obsolete regional part of lateral ventricle	UBERON_0027649
UBERON_0014342	UBERON_0014342
epidural space	UBERON_0003691	[The outermost part of the spinal canal. It is the space within the canal (formed by the surrounding vertebrae) lying outside the dura mater.]
obsolete synaptic ribbon	UBERON_0001030
sheath of Schwann	UBERON_0001031	[The outermost nucleated cytoplasmic layer of Schwann cells that surrounds the axon of the neuron. It forms the outermost layer of the nerve fiber in the peripheral nervous system. The neurolemma is underlain by the basal lamina (referred to as the medullary sheath in the included illustrations. In CNS, axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes, thus lack neurolemma.]
chordotonal organ	UBERON_0001038	[Chordotonal organs are arthropod sensory structures consisting of special sensilla called the scolopidia, which are mechano-transducers and respond mainly to stretch or flexion. In insects, they consist of bundles of internal sensilla, each of which has a cap cell, an enveloping cell and one or more sense cells. The distal end of the organ is usually attached to the cuticle of the body wall, marked by a pit, a thickened disc or a nodule of chitin, and the base of the organ is connected with the hypodermis, often by a special ligament.]
atlanto-axial joint	UBERON_0003694	[The Atlanto-axial joint is of a complicated nature, comprising no fewer than four distinct joints. There is a pivot articulation between the odontoid process of the axis and the ring formed by the anterior arch and the transverse ligament of the atlas.]
obsolete photoreceptor	UBERON_0001034	[Can refer to a light sensitive organ, a photoreceptor cell or a photoreceptor protein. This class was made obsolete because it was ambiguous]
dento-alveolar joint	UBERON_0001035	[A joint that binds the teeth to the alveolar ridge.]
obsolete neuromuscular junction	UBERON_0001029
superior calcarine sulcus	UBERON_0025096
homocercal tail	UBERON_4200055	[Type of tail fin in which the vertebrae generally turn upward at the hind end of the column, but which is externally symmetrical. The fin rays of the caudal are supported by hypaxial elements]
hypocercal tail	UBERON_4200056	[Type of tail fin where the lower lobe is the longer and is supported by the vertebral column. Asymmetrical externally as well as internally]
diphycercal tail	UBERON_4200053	[An internally and externally symmetrical tail (caudal) fin]
heterocercal tail	UBERON_4200054	[Type of tail (caudal) fin in which the vertebral column turns upwards into the upper lobe which is longer than the lower. Asymmetrical externally as well as internally.]
cotyloid notch	UBERON_4200051	[A notch or opening in the ventral part of the acetabular rim.]
crista tibiofibularis	UBERON_4200052	[Tuberosity on the posterior surface of the lateral femoral condyle]
