#landmark.anatomical_structure an anatomical structure used as a point of origin in locating other anatomical structures (as in surgery) or as point from which measurements can be taken
supertype: anatomical_structure__structure__complex_body_part__bodily_structure__body_structure a particular complex anatomical structure; "he has good bone structure"
