Label	Id	Description
rostral intralaminar nuclear group	UBERON_0002965
body wall	UBERON_0000309	[The external portion of an animal body derived from ectoderm and mesoderm layers that encloses the body cavity.]
superior cerebellar artery	UBERON_0001635	[The superior cerebellar artery (SCA) arises near the termination of the basilar artery. It passes lateralward, immediately below the oculomotor nerve, which separates it from the posterior cerebral artery, winds around the cerebral peduncle, close to the trochlear nerve, and, arriving at the upper surface of the cerebellum, divides into branches which ramify in the pia mater and anastomose with those of the inferior cerebellar arteries. Several branches are given to the pineal body, the anterior medullary velum, and the tela chorioidea of the third ventricle. [WP,unvetted].]
cerebellar artery	UBERON_0003472	[An artery that supplies blood to the cerebellum.]
branch of basilar artery	UBERON_0035489
pineal body	UBERON_0001905	[A midline, cone like structure located in the dorso-caudal roof of the 3rd ventricle, attached by peduncles to the habenular and posterior commissures. The stalk contains nerve fibers, blood vessels, connective tissue and parenchymal cells (Paxinos, The Rat Central Nervous System, 2nd ed, pg 399).]
metencephalon	UBERON_0001895	[Rostral segment of the hindbrain that has as its parts the pons (where present) and the cerebellum[WP,modified].]
obsolete regional part of midbrain tectum	UBERON_0002966	[A regional part of brain that is part of a midbrain tectum [Automatically generated definition].]
posterior cerebral artery	UBERON_0001636	[The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is one of a pair of blood vessels that supplies oxygenated blood to the posterior aspect of the brain in human anatomy]. It arises near the intersection of the posterior communicating artery and the basilar artery and connects with the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) and internal carotid artery via the posterior communicating artery (PCommA). [WP,unvetted].]
cingulate gyrus	UBERON_0002967	[One of the convolutions on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere. It surrounds the rostral part of the brain and interhemispheric commissure and forms part of the limbic system. (MSH) One of three essential structures comprising the limbic lobe, the other two being the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus. (CSP)]
arterial blood vessel	UBERON_0003509	[A blood vessel that is part of the arterial system. Includes artery, arteriole and aorta.]
central gray substance of pons	UBERON_0002968
gray matter of hindbrain	UBERON_0019263
central gray substance	UBERON_0035011
pontine reticular formation	UBERON_0002573	[The reticular formation is a part of the brain that is involved in actions such as awaking/sleeping cycle, and filtering incoming stimuli to discriminate irrelevant background stimuli. It is essential for governing some of the basic functions of higher organisms, and is one of the phylogenetically oldest portions of the brain. [WP,unvetted].]
cleaving embryo	UBERON_0007010	[Organism at the cleavage stage.]
short bone	UBERON_0013630	[Short bones are designated as those bones that are as wide as they are long. Their primary function is to provide support and stability with little to no movement. They are one of five types of bones: long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid. Examples of these bones include the tarsals in the foot and the carpals in the hand.]
bone element	UBERON_0001474	[Skeletal element that is composed of bone tissue.]
male membranous urethra	UBERON_0012302	[the shortest, least dilatable, and, with the exception of the external orifice, the narrowest part of the male urethral canal located in the deep perineal pouch and lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium; it extends downward and forward, with a slight anterior concavity, between the apex of the prostate and the bulb of the urethra, perforating the urogenital diaphragm below and behind the pubic symphysis; the membranous portion of the urethra is completely surrounded by the fibers of the sphincter urethrae membranaceae; on either side near its termination are the bulbourethral glands]
membranous urethra of male or female	UBERON_0001336
