Label	Id	Description
nasopharynx	UBERON_0001728	[the section of the pharynx that lies above the soft palate]
proximo-distal subdivision of respiratory tract	UBERON_0000072	[An section of a respiratory tract.]
chordate pharynx	UBERON_0001042	[A portion of the respiratory and digestive tracts; its distal limit is the superior part of the esophagus and it connects the nasal and oral cavities with the esophagus and larynx; it contains the valleculae and the pyriform recesses; its upper limits are the nasal cavity and cranial base.[FEED].]
upper respiratory tract	UBERON_0001557	[The segment of the respiratory tract that starts proximally with the nose and ends distally with the cricoid cartilage, before continuing to the trachea.]
antigen processing and presentation	GO_0019882	[The process in which an antigen-presenting cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex.]
immune system process	GO_0002376	[Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.]
molecular adaptor activity	GO_0060090	[The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more molecules through a selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric interaction, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way.]
binding	GO_0005488	[The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.]
antigen processing and presentation of exogenous antigen	GO_0019884	[The process in which an antigen-presenting cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) of exogenous origin on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex.]
tongue	UBERON_0001723	[A muscular organ in the floor of the mouth.]
structure with developmental contribution from neural crest	UBERON_0010314	[An anatomical structure that has some part that develops from the neural crest.]
sense organ	UBERON_0000020	[An organ that is capable of transducing sensory stimulus to the nervous system.]
digestive system element	UBERON_0013765	[Any of the organs or elements that are part of the digestive system. Examples: tongue, esophagus, spleen, crop, lunge feeding organ, tooth elements.]
pharyngeal arch system	UBERON_0008814	[A transient embryonic complex that comprises the pharyngeal arches, bulges of tissues of mesoderm and neural crest derivation through which pass nerves and pharyngeal arch arteries. The arches are separated internally by pharyngeal pouches, evaginations of foregut endoderm, and externally by pharyngeal clefts, invaginations of surface ectoderm. The development of the system ends when the stucture it contributes to are forming, which may include (depending on species) the thymus, thyroid, parathyroids, maxilla, mandible, aortic arch, cardiac outflow tract, external and middle ear[GO,modified].]
future tongue	UBERON_0010056	[A compound organ that has the potential to develop into a tongue.]
digestive system	UBERON_0001007	[Anatomical system that has as its parts the organs devoted to the ingestion, digestion, and assimilation of food and the discharge of residual wastes.]
oral opening	UBERON_0000166	[The orifice that connects the mouth to the exterior of the body.]
lingual swellings	UBERON_0006260
median lingual swelling	UBERON_0006756	[During the third week of embryological development there appears, immediately behind the ventral ends of the two halves of the mandibular arch, a rounded swelling named the tuberculum impar, which was described by His as undergoing enlargement to form the buccal part of the tongue. More recent researches, however, show that this part of the tongue is mainly, if not entirely, developed from a pair of lateral swellings which rise from the inner surface of the mandibular arch and meet in the middle line. The site of their meeting remains post-embryonically as the median sulcus of the tongue. The tuberculum impar is said to form the central part of the tongue immediately in front of the foramen cecum, but Hammar insists that it is purely a transitory structure and forms no part of the adult tongue[WP, Gray's].]
lateral lingual swelling	UBERON_0006757	[During the third week there appears, immediately behind the ventral ends of the two halves of the mandibular arch, a rounded swelling named the tuberculum impar, which was described by His as undergoing enlargement to form the buccal part of the tongue. More recent researches, however, show that this part of the tongue is mainly, if not entirely, developed from a pair of lateral swellings (or distal tongue bud) which rise from the inner surface of the mandibular arch and meet in the middle line.]
