SNOMED CT Concept\Body structure (body structure)\Anatomical or acquired body structure (body structure)\Anatomical structure\...

\Anatomical structure which has as its parts a heterogeneous collection of organs, organ parts, cells, cell parts or body part subdivisions that are adjacent to, or continuous with one another; does not constitute a cell part, cell, tissue, organ, or body part subdivision.\Structure of anatomical compartment (body structure)\Intracranial structure (body structure)\Brain structure

\An anatomical structure that consists of the maximal set of organ parts so connected to one another that together they constitute a self-contained unit of macroscopic anatomy, distinct both morphologically and functionally from other such units. Together with other organs, an organ constitutes an organ system or a body part. An organ is divisible into organ parts but not organs (examples: femur, biceps, liver, heart, aorta, sciatic nerve, ovary).\Brain and spinal cord structure (body structure)\Brain structure
