A modeling approach used in SNOMED CT to represent anatomical entities such as body organs, systems, or regions.
Notes
- Structure is the most general way to refer to an organ, body system, or region.
- Entire refers to a complete organ, body system, or region.
- Part refers to a part of an organ, body system, or region. Part does not refer to the entire organ, body system, or region.
