SNOMED CT Concept\Body structure (body structure)\Anatomical or acquired body structure (body structure)\Anatomical 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).\Structure of organ in respiratory system\Pharyngeal structure\Pharyngeal part (body structure)\Pharyngeal wall structure\Structure of wall of oropharynx (body structure)\Structure of lateral wall of oropharynx (body structure)\Palatine tonsillar structure\Entire palatine tonsil
