Schema: AnatomicalStructure

AnatomicalStructure JSON-LD example for the digestive system's small intestine. Covers connectedTo, partOfSystem, subStructure, relatedCondition, relatedTherapy, diagram, and bodyLocation (the 8 properties unique to AnatomicalStructure).

AnatomicalSystem JSON-LD example — a group of anatomical structures that work together (cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, reproductive, respiratory, urinary). Sibling of AnatomicalStructure under MedicalEntity.

SuperficialAnatomy JSON-LD example for a surface landmark (e.g. McBurney's point). MedicalEntity subtype for anatomical features observable by sight — surface landmarks that correspond to deeper subcutaneous structures, essential in physical-exam teaching.

Muscle JSON-LD example for biceps brachii — an AnatomicalStructure subtype carrying insertion, origin, muscleAction, antagonist, nerve (motor supply), and bloodSupply. The standard anatomy primer shape for medical reference pages.

Nerve JSON-LD example for the median nerve — AnatomicalStructure subtype carrying branch, sensoryUnit, sourcedFrom, and nerveMotor. The standard anatomy shape for peripheral nerve reference pages.

Vein JSON-LD example for the inferior vena cava — AnatomicalStructure subtype (via Vessel) carrying tributary, regionDrained, and drainsTo. The canonical shape for venous reference pages in medical primers.

Joint JSON-LD example for the knee — AnatomicalStructure subtype carrying structuralClass (synovial / fibrous / cartilaginous), functionalClass (diarthrosis / amphiarthrosis / synarthrosis), and biomechnicalClass (hinge / ball-and-socket / pivot / gliding / saddle / condyloid).

LymphaticVessel JSON-LD example for the thoracic duct — AnatomicalStructure subtype (via Vessel) carrying originatesFrom, regionDrained, and runsTo. The canonical shape for lymphatic reference pages.

Artery JSON-LD example — Vessel / AnatomicalStructure subtype carrying arterialBranch and supplyTo. Counterpart to Vein.

Bone JSON-LD reference. Rigid connective tissue that comprises up the skeletal structure of the human body.

BrainStructure JSON-LD reference. Any anatomical structure which pertains to the soft nervous tissue functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.

Ligament JSON-LD reference. A short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that functions to connect multiple bones, cartilages, and structurally support joints.

Vessel JSON-LD reference. A component of the human body circulatory system comprised of an intricate network of hollow tubes that transport blood throughout the entire body.
