All terms in HCAO

Label Id Description
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.]
Reichert's cartilage UBERON_0004368 [A continuous cartilaginous formation in mesenchyme of the second pharyngeal arch in the embryo. The longer cranial or styloid segment is continuous with the otic capsule; its inferior end is angulated and is situated very close to the oropharynx. The smaller caudal segment is in contact with the body and greater horn of the hyoid cartilaginous structure.]
incus bone UBERON_0001688 [The incus or anvil is the anvil-shaped small bone or ossicle in the middle ear. It connects the malleus to the stapes. It was first described by Alessandro Achillin of Bologna. The incus transmits sound vibrations from the malleus to the stapes. The incus only exists in mammals, and is derived from a reptilian upper jaw bone, the quadrate bone. Embryologically it is derived from the first pharyngeal arch along with the rest of the bones of mastication, such as the maxilla and mandible. [WP,unvetted].]
incus endochondral element UBERON_0015017 [An incus bone or its cartilage or pre-cartilage precursor.]
Theria <mammals> NCBITaxon_32525
incus cartilage element UBERON_0007374 [An incus endochondral element that is composed primarily of cartilage tissue.]
intramembranous bone UBERON_0002514 [Bone tissue forms directly within mesenchyme, and does not replace other tissues[TAO]. Intramembranous ossification is the formation of bone in which osteoblasts secrete a collagen-proteoglycan matrix that binds calcium salts and becomes calcified[GO]. Intramembranous ossification is the way flat bones and the shell of a turtle are formed[GO]. Unlike endochondral ossification, cartilage is not present during intramembranous ossification[WP].]
flat bone UBERON_0010428 [A bone that is shaped as a broad flat plate and composed of two thin layers of compact tissue enclosing between them a variable quantity of cancellous tissue, which is the location of red bone marrow.]
palate bone UBERON_0012071 [Any bone that is part of a palate.]
bone of upper jaw UBERON_0011597 [Any bone that is part of the upper jaw skeleton. This includes (when present): the maxilla, the quadrate (in some species).]
palatal part of dermatocranium UBERON_0012072
palatoquadrate arch UBERON_0011085 [The dorsal portion of the first pharyngeal arch, comprising the upper jaw[ZFIN,VHOG].]
