Anatomical cluster in which parts of two or more anatomical structures establish physical continuity with one another or intermingle their component parts. Examples: esophagogastric junction, linea alba, knee joint. There are junctions between body parts, body part subdivisions, organ systems, organ systems, organs, organ parts and cells and cell parts. Is it necessary to enter the junctions between anatomical structures, e.g. craniocervical junction (junction between head and neck) as classes in the ontology or is it a more efficient system to compositionally generate those terms using the adjacency relationships?
