All terms in UBERON
| Label | Id | Description |
|---|---|---|
| left atrium auricular region | UBERON_0006630 | [A muscular pouch connected to the left atrium of the heart] |
| cauda equina | UBERON_0012337 | [The cauda equina is a structure within the lower end of the spinal column of most vertebrates, that consists of nerve roots and rootlets from above. The space in which the cerebrospinal fluid is present is actually an extension of the subarachnoid space.] |
| spinal nerve root | UBERON_0009623 | [The paired bundles of nerve fibers entering and leaving the spinal cord at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and autonomic preganglionic neurons. There are, however, some exceptions to this afferent/efferent rule.] |
| lacrimal bone | UBERON_0001680 | [the irregularly thin plate that forms part of the medial wall of the orbit behind the frontal process of the maxilla] |
| irregular bone | UBERON_0008001 | [The irregular bones are bones which, from their peculiar form, cannot be grouped as long bone, short bone, flat bone or sesamoid bone. Irregular bones serve various purposes in the body, such as protection of nervous tissue, affording multiple anchor points for skeletal muscle attachment (as with the sacrum), and maintaining pharynx and trachea support, and tongue attachment (such as the hyoid bone). They consist of cancellous tissue enclosed within a thin layer of compact bone. The irregular bones are: the vertebrC&, sacrum, coccyx, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, zygomatic, maxilla, mandible, palatine, inferior nasal concha, and hyoid.] |
| endocardium of right auricle | UBERON_0011007 | [An endocardium that is part of a right atrium auricular region.] |
| right atrium endocardium | UBERON_0009129 | [Endocardium that is part of the right atrium.] |
| right atrium auricular region | UBERON_0006631 | [A small conical muscular pouch attached to the right atrium of the heart.] |
| hyoid bone | UBERON_0001685 | [A horseshoe shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. The hyoid bone provides attachment to the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the tongue above, the larynx below, and the epiglottis and pharynx behind. [WP,modified].] |
| pharyngeal arch 2 | UBERON_0003066 | [The second pharyngeal arch will form the hyoid apparatus. The cranial neural crest cells that populate the second pharyngeal arch emerge primarily from rhombomere 4 and will form skeletal elements.] |
| pharyngeal arch 3 | UBERON_0003114 | [The third branchial arch contributes to the development of the hyoid bone, stylopharyngeus muscle, inferior parathyroid gland, and thymus.] |
| hyoid apparatus | UBERON_0010272 | [A group of bones comprised of hyoid body and two pairs of cornua (i.e. greater cornua and lesser cornua), and lies just below the tongue, above the thyroid cartilage] |
| auditory ossicle bone | UBERON_0001686 | [One of 3 small bones contained within the middle ear space and serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth. The absence of the auditory ossicles would constitute a moderate-to-severe hearing loss. The term 'ossicles' literally means 'tiny bones' and commonly refers to the auditory ossicles, though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body. [WP,unvetted].] |
| head bone | UBERON_0003457 | [A bone that is part of a head [Automatically generated definition].] |
| nuchal ligament | UBERON_0000351 | [A fibrous membrane, which, in the neck, represents the supraspinal ligaments of the upper vertebrae.] |
| occipital bone | UBERON_0001676 | [the bone at the lower, posterior part of the skull] |
| cervical vertebra | UBERON_0002413 | [A vertebra that is located in the cervical region of the vertebral column.] |
| stapes bone | UBERON_0001687 | [The stapes or stirrup is the stirrup-shaped small bone or ossicle in the middle ear which is attached to the incus laterally and to the fenestra ovalis, the 'oval window' medially. The oval window is adjacent to the vestibule of the inner ear. The stapes is the smallest and lightest bone in the human body. The stapes transmits the sound vibrations from the incus to the membrane of the inner ear inside the fenestra ovalis. The stapes is also stabilized by the stapedius muscle, which is innervated by the facial nerve. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the bone homologous to the stapes is usually called the columella; however, in reptiles, either term may be used[WP,unvetted].] |
| stapes endochondral element | UBERON_0015016 | [A stapes bone or its cartilage or pre-cartilage precursor.] |
| stapes cartilage element | UBERON_0010055 | [A stapes endochondral element that is composed primarily of cartilage tissue.] |
