The entities may be statistical variables, or they may be other kinds of entities such as diseases, chemical entities or processes. related via dependence to a produces b if some process that occurs_in a has_output b, where a and b are material entities. Examples: hybridoma cell line produces monoclonal antibody reagent; chondroblast produces avascular GAG-rich matrix. produces a produced_by b iff some process that occurs_in b has_output a. produced by An entity that exists in full at any time in which it exists at all, persists through time while maintaining its identity and has no temporal parts. continuant An entity that has temporal parts and that happens, unfolds or develops through time. occurrent A continuant that is a bearer of quality and realizable entity entities, in which other entities inhere and which itself cannot inhere in anything. independent continuant An occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. process A continuant that inheres in or is borne by other entities. Every instance of A requires some specific instance of B which must always be the same. specifically dependent continuant An independent continuant that is spatially extended whose identity is independent of that of other entities and can be maintained through time. material entity anatomical structure material anatomical entity cell part chemical entity A material entity of anatomical origin (part of or deriving from an organism) that has as its parts a maximally connected cell compartment surrounded by a plasma membrane. cell A cell that is found in a natural setting, which includes multicellular organism cells 'in vivo' (i.e. part of an organism), and unicellular organisms 'in environment' (i.e. part of a natural environment). cell in vivo native cell Female germ cell is a germ cell that supports female gamete production. female germ cell A female germ cell that has entered meiosis. oogonium oocyte A cell that is within the developmental lineage of gametes and is able to pass along its genetic material to offspring. germ line cell A cell that moves by its own activities. motile cell A cell that lacks a nucleus. non-nucleated cell anucleate cell Any cell capable of ingesting particulate matter via phagocytosis. phagocyte eukaryotic cell A cell that is specialised to accumulate a particular substance(s). stuff accumulating cell A cell whose primary function is to protect the organism. defensive cell animal cell The reproductive cell in multicellular organisms. germ cell A cell containing at least one nucleus. nucleate cell nuclear division developmental process involved in reproduction cellular_component cell nucleus microvillus cilium transport endocytosis phagocytosis movement of cell or subcellular component organelle organization meiotic nuclear division female meiotic division gamete generation germ cell development female gamete generation biological_process cellular process cellular component organization vesicle-mediated transport cell cycle process cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism reproductive process developmental process locomotion cell projection organelle membrane-bounded organelle intracellular organelle intracellular membrane-bounded organelle intracellular part cell part single-organism process single organism reproductive process single-organism cellular process single-organism transport single-organism developmental process organelle fission cell development oogenesis multicellular organismal reproductive process anatomical structure development cellular developmental process cell motility localization establishment of localization cellular component organization or biogenesis actin-based cell projection single-organism localization single-organism organelle organization meiotic cell cycle process quality morphology physical object quality cellular quality nucleate quality anucleate nucleated Material anatomical entity that is a single connected structure with inherent 3D shape generated by coordinated expression of the organism's own genome. biological structure connected biological structure anatomical structure Anatomical structure that performs a specific function or group of functions [WP]. anatomical unit body organ element organ Anatomical entity that has mass. material anatomical entity Anatomical entity that has no mass. immaterial physical anatomical entity immaterial anatomical entity Multicellular, connected anatomical structure that has multiple organs as parts and whose parts work together to achieve some shared function. system body system connected anatomical system organ system anatomical systems anatomical system Anatomical structure that is an individual member of a species and consists of more than one cell. multi-cellular organism organism whole organism animal Koerper body whole body multicellular organism Anatomical structure that consists of cell parts and cell substances and together does not constitute a cell or a tissue. acellular anatomical structures acellular anatomical structure Multicellular anatomical structure that consists of many cells of one or a few types, arranged in an extracellular matrix such that their long-range organisation is at least partly a repetition of their short-range organisation. portion of tissue tissue portion simple tissue tissue Anatomical system that has as its parts the organs concerned with reproduction.
