supertype: anatomical_structure__structure__complex_body_part__bodily_structure__body_structure a particular complex anatomical structure; "he has good bone structure"
part of: skeletal_system
subtype: jaw the part of the skull of a vertebrate that frames the mouth and holds the teeth
subtype: rib_cage__ribcage the bony enclosing wall of the chest
subtype: arch.skeletal_structure a curved bony structure supporting or enclosing organs (especially arches of the feet)
subtype: metatarsal_arch the short lateral arch formed by the heads of the metatarsals
subtype: instep.arch the arch of the foot
subtype: sunken_arch__fallen_arch an instep flattened so the entire sole rests on the ground
subtype: shoulder_girdle__pectoral_arch the bony arch formed by the collarbones and shoulder blades in humans
subtype: hemal_arch__hemalarch__haemal_arch a structure arising ventrally from a vertebral centrum and enclosing the caudal blood vessels
subtype: neural_arch__vertebral_arch__vertebralarch a structure arising dorsally from a vertebral centrum and enclosing the spinal cord
subtype: heel.skeletal_structure the back part of the human foot
subtype: girdle an encircling or ringlike structure
subtype: pectoral_girdle a skeletal support to which the forelimbs of vertebrates are attached
subtype: pelvis__pelvic_girdle__pelvic_arch__hip the structure of the vertebrate skeleton supporting the lower limbs in humans and the hind limbs or corresponding parts in other vertebrates
subtype: appendicular_skeleton the part of the skeleton that includes the pectoral girdle and the pelvic girdle and the upper and lower limbs
subtype: axial_skeleton__axialskeleton the part of the skeleton that includes the skull and spinal column and sternum and ribs
subtype: spinal_column__vertebral_column__vertebralcolumn__spine__backbone__back__rachis the series of vertebrae forming the axis of the skeleton and protecting the spinal cord; "the fall broke his back"
subtype: notochord a flexible rodlike structure that forms the supporting axis of the body in the lowest chordates and lowest vertebrates and in embryos of higher vertebrates
subtype: urochord a notochord of a larval tunicate typically confined to the caudal region
subtype: chine backbone of an animal
subtype: metacarpus the part of the hand between the carpus and phalanges
subtype: metatarsus the skeleton of the human foot between the toes and the tarsus; the corresponding part of the foot in birds or of the hind foot in quadrupeds
subtype: tarsus the part of the foot of a vertebrate between the metatarsus and the leg; in human beings the bones of the ankle and heel collectively
