Label Id Description
middle cerebellar peduncle UBERON_0002152 [Regional part of medullary white matter (according to Neuronames) primarily found at the level of the pons, consisting of a very large bundle of fibers originating in the pontine nuclei projecting to the cerebellum (MM).]
eye sebaceous gland UBERON_0003484 [A sebaceous gland that is part of a camera-type eye. Example: a tarsal gland.]
eye skin gland UBERON_0003605 [A skin gland that is part of a camera-type eye [Automatically generated definition].]
skin sebaceous gland UBERON_0003487 [A holocrine gland of the dermis that secretes sebum into hair follicles.]
thymus lymphoid tissue UBERON_0003483 [A portion of lymphoid tissue that is part of a thymus [Automatically generated definition].]
principal inferior olivary nucleus UBERON_0002158 [The inferior olivary nucleus that consists of the major laminar structure.]
respiratory system capillary endothelium UBERON_0003489 [An endothelium of capillary that is part of a respiratory system [Automatically generated definition].]
medial accessory inferior olivary nucleus UBERON_0002159 [The inferior olivary nucleus that lies between the primary olivary nucleus and the pyramid, and forms a curved lamina, the concavity of which is directed laterally.]
vagina sebaceous gland UBERON_0003485 [A sebaceous gland that is part of a vagina [Automatically generated definition].]
gigantocellular nucleus UBERON_0002155 [Nucleus located in the rostral ventrolateral medulla. The PGL was originally identified by cytoarchitectural criteria in the human medulla (Olszewski and Baxter, 1954). In humans, the PGL is located in the ventrolateral quadrant of the rostral medullary tegmentum between the nucleus subtrigeminalis caudally, trapezoid body and the superior olive rostrally, nucleus gigantocellularis medially, spinothalamic tract fibers laterally, inferior olive ventrally, and the nucleus ambiguous dorsally (Olszewski and Baxter, 1954). In the rat, the PGL has been further subdivided into retrofacial PGL (caudal to the facial nucleus), and more rostrally located juxtafacial PGL (medial to the facial nucleus), based upon different connectivity.]
abdominal mammary gland UBERON_0003488 [A lactiferous gland that is part of the abdominal region [Automatically generated definition].]
nucleus raphe magnus UBERON_0002156 [The nucleus raphe magnus, located directly rostral to the raphe obscurus, is afferently stimulated from axons in the spinal cord and cerebellum. This makes the magnus a likely candidate for part of the motor system; however, it seems to participate in the endogenous analgesia system. The magnus receives descending afferents from the periaqueductal gray, the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus, central nucleus of the amygdala, lateral hypothalamic area, parvocellular reticular nucleus and the prelimbic, infralimbic, medial and lateral precentral cortices . All of these brain areas influence the main function of the raphe magnus. The main function of the magnus is mostly pain mediation; in fact it sends projections to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord to directly inhibit pain. The periaquiductal gray, the epicenter of analgesia, sends efferent connections to the nucleus raphe magnus in when it is stimulated by opiates (endogenous or otherwise). Electrical stimulation of the PAG produces analgesia, as well as administration of morphine to the PAG or n.r. magnus. The antinociceptic effects of electrical stimulation of the PAG can be blocked by administering naloxone, an opiate antagonist, to the n.r. magnus. All of this seems to indicate that the magnus is part of the endogenous opiate system, and acts to inhibit pain in the spinal cord. [WP,unvetted].]
medullary raphe nuclear complex UBERON_0002692
nucleus raphe pallidus UBERON_0002157 [The nucleus raphe pallidus receives afferent connections from the periaqueductal gray, the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus, central nucleus of the amygdala, lateral hypothalamic area, and parvocellular reticular nucleus. Also, the pallidus receives afferents from the medial preoptic area, median preoptic nucleus and lateral paragigantocellular reticular nuclei . The pallidus has recently been shown to be involved in the activation of a fever as an immunoreaction. It has been implied that the preoptic area is constantly inhibiting the raphe pallidus, especially the rostral portion, with GABA. When the preoptic area receives immune signals from the body, the inhibition stops and the rostral portion of the raphe pallidus excites the intermediolateral cell column, which induces a fever . The raphe pallidus has also been known to mediate the tachycardia response, an extremely high heart rate known to be incited by emotional or psychological stress. Microinjections of a GABA-a antagonist into the raphe pallidus, induces an increased heart rate. Conversely, microinjections of muscimol, a GABA-a agonist, inhibit tachycardia in rats under air-stress stimuli. In both of these cases, GABA is mediating two different sympathetic responses, so clearly the nucleus raphe pallidus is a far more a complex nucleus than previously thought. [WP,unvetted].]
axilla skin UBERON_0015474 [A zone of skin that is part of a axilla.]
nose skin UBERON_0015476 [A zone of skin that is part of a external nose.]
axillary fat pad UBERON_0015477 [A fat pad that is part of a axilla.]
gracile nucleus UBERON_0002161 [Nucleus in the caudal medulla that receive projections primarily from ipsilateral dorsal root ganglion cells via the posterior column of the spinal cord.]
