All terms in UBERON

Label	Id	Description
bony projection	UBERON_0004530	[Anatomical projection that is composed of bone tissue.]
fascia of Scarpa	UBERON_0013705	[The deep layer (fascia of Scarpa) is a layer of the anterior abdominal wall.]
abdominal fat pad	UBERON_0003427	[The encapsulated adipose tissue in the abdomen.]
anterior abdominal wall	UBERON_0006635	[The abdominal wall represents the boundaries of the abdominal cavity. The abdominal wall is split into the posterior (back), lateral (sides) and anterior (front) walls. There is a common set of layers covering and forming all the walls: the deepest being the extraperitoneal fat, the parietal peritoneum, and a layer of fascia which has different names over where it covers (eg transversalis, psoas fascia). Superficial to these, but not present in the posterior wall are the three layers of muscle, the transversus abdominis (transverse abdominal muscle), the internal (obliquus internus) and the external oblique (obliquus externus).]
cochlear nucleus	UBERON_0001720	[Any of the nuclei of the cochlear nuclear complex.]
nucleus of medulla oblongata	UBERON_0007635	[A neural nucleus that is part of a medulla oblongata.]
cochlear nerve	UBERON_0004727	[A nerve in the head that carries signals from the cochlea of the inner ear to the brain. It is part of the vestibulocochlear nerve, the 8th cranial nerve which is found in higher vertebrates; the other portion of the 8th cranial nerve is the vestibular nerve which carries spatial orientation information from the semicircular canals. The cochlear nerve is a sensory nerve, one which conducts to the brain information about the environment, in this case acoustic energy impinging on the tympanic membrane. The cochlear nerve arises from within the cochlea and extends to the brainstem, where its fibers make contact with the cochlear nucleus, the next stage of neural processing in the auditory system[WP].]
brainstem	UBERON_0002298	[Stalk-like part of the brain that includes amongst its parts the medulla oblongata of the hindbrain and the tegmentum of the midbrain[ZFA,MP,generalized].]
cochlear nuclear complex	UBERON_0002610	[The cochlear nuclei consist of: (a) the dorsal cochlear nucleus, corresponding to the tuberculum acusticum on the dorso-lateral surface of the inferior peduncle; and (b) the ventral or accessory cochlear nucleus, placed between the two divisions of the nerve, on the ventral aspect of the inferior peduncle. [WP,unvetted].]
inferior vestibular nucleus	UBERON_0001721	[The inferior vestibular nucleus is the vestibular nucleus which lies near the fourth ventricle. [WP,unvetted].]
vestibular nucleus	UBERON_0007228	[A cranial nucleus for the vestibular nerve. [WP,unvetted].]
anterior inferior iliac spine	UBERON_0013709	[The anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is a bony eminence on the anterior border of the hip bone, or, more precisely, the wing of the ilium (i.e. the upper lateral parts of the pelvis).]
oculomotor nuclear complex	UBERON_0001715	[Nuclear complex containing subnuclei that give rise to the axons of the occulomotor nerve, both motor and parasympathetic fibers, situated at the midline at the level of the superior colliculus in the midbrain tegmentum (Brodal, Neurological Anatomy, 3rd ed., 1981, pg 533-534).]
gray matter of midbrain	UBERON_0019267
nuclear complex of neuraxis	UBERON_0007245	[Gray matter of the central nervous system which is a collection of clustered nuclei.]
midbrain tegmentum	UBERON_0001943	[Ventral part of the midbrain, separated from the hindbrain by the isthmus[ISBN:0471888893]. Subdivision of the midbrain lying anterior to the tectum and posterior to the substantia nigra and cerebral peduncle[FMA] The part of the midbrain extending from the substantia nigra to the cerebral aqueduct in a horizontal section of the midbrain. It forms the floor of the midbrain that surrounds the cerebral aqueduct[WP].]
secondary palate	UBERON_0001716	[The part of the palate formed from the fusion of the two palatine shelves, extensions of the maxillary prominences.]
neural crest-derived structure	UBERON_0010313	[An anatomical structure that develops from the neural crest.]
roof of mouth	UBERON_0007375	[A multi-tissue structure consisting of bone and soft tissue that forms a part of the roof of the oral cavity. In mammals this is the combination of the primary palate (premaxilla) and the secondary palate. In early tetrapods it consists of the vomer, pterygoid, parasphenoid, palatine and ectopterygoid bones.]
secondary palatal shelf	UBERON_0005619	[The outgrowths of the embryonic maxillary prominences that come together during prenatal development to form the secondary palate]
