| Definitions |
An anatomical entity is a material entity that is part of a multicellular organism, and which is large enough so that it forms an identifiable structure in the organism. Specifically, it excludes granular parts of the organism, such as atoms, molecules, cells, which can be removed from the organism without affecting it. It is defined as the union of 'multi-tissue structure', 'body substance' and 'portion of tissue' |

| editor note |
not super happy about liquids (blood, sperm), as they seem to be 'granular' somewhat, and not form a structure. 10/20/09: This class and all subclasses are currently problematic. They should all be imported from other OBO foundry ontologies. (FMA / CARO / UBERON). Currently two problems exist: There is no cross species anatomy that covers all the entities we need. Secondly: there is not good boundary between anatomical entities and smaller parts in FMA. Currently we will use anatomical entities as if they are valid across species. |
