S concepts are usually named x structure (body structure) or structure of x (body structure). E concepts are usually named entire x (body structure) or x entire (body structure). P concepts are usually named x part (body structure) or part of x (body structure).

Plurals

Outside the anatomy section of SNOMED CT, plurals were primarily used as headers, while the individual concept names were singular. In the anatomy section, we have taken plurals to represent meaningful differences from their singular counterparts.

For example, Skin structure of all fingers in the FSN would mean more than one finger, while Skin of finger would not imply more than one.
