What is AnatomicalSystem?
An anatomical system is a group of anatomical structures that work together to perform a certain task. Anatomical systems, such as organ systems, are one organizing principle of anatomy, and can include circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, immune, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, urinary, vestibular, and other systems.

Properties that accept AnatomicalSystem values (6)
| Property | On types | Description |
|---|---|---|
| associatedAnatomy | MedicalCondition or PhysicalActivity | The anatomy of the underlying organ system or structures associated with this entity. |
| comprisedOf | AnatomicalSystem | Specifying something physically contained by something else. Typically used here for the underlying anatomical structures, such as organs, that comprise the anatomical system. |
| expressedIn | Gene | Tissue, organ, biological sample, etc in which activity of this gene has been observed experimentally. For example brain, digestive system. |
| partOfSystem | AnatomicalStructure | The anatomical or organ system that this structure is part of. |
| regionDrained | LymphaticVessel or Vein | The anatomical or organ system drained by this vessel; generally refers to a specific part of an organ. |
| relatedAnatomy | SuperficialAnatomy | Anatomical systems or structures that relate to the superficial anatomy. |
Properties usable on AnatomicalSystem (26)
This list includes properties whose domainIncludes names AnatomicalSystem or one of its ancestors. DomainIncludes is advisory; it is not an exhaustive set of permitted properties.
| Property | Expected value types | Description |
|---|---|---|
| additionalType | Text, URL | An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org <a href="https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html">style guide</a>. |
| alternateName | Text | An alias for the item. |
| associatedPathophysiology | Text | If applicable, a description of the pathophysiology associated with the anatomical system, including potential abnormal changes in the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of the system. |
| code | MedicalCode | A medical code for the entity, taken from a controlled vocabulary or ontology such as ICD-9, DiseasesDB, MeSH, SNOMED-CT, RxNorm, etc. |
| comprisedOf | AnatomicalStructure, AnatomicalSystem | Specifying something physically contained by something else. Typically used here for the underlying anatomical structures, such as organs, that comprise the anatomical system. |
| description | Text, TextObject | A description of the item. |
| disambiguatingDescription | Text | A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation. |
| funding | Grant | A [[Grant]] that directly or indirectly provide funding or sponsorship for this item. See also [[ownershipFundingInfo]]. |
| guideline | MedicalGuideline | A medical guideline related to this entity. |
| identifier | PropertyValue, Text, URL | The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details. |
| image | ImageObject, URL | An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]]. |
| legalStatus | DrugLegalStatus, MedicalEnumeration, Text | The drug or supplement's legal status, including any controlled substance schedules that apply. |

| relatedCondition | MedicalCondition | A medical condition associated with this anatomy. |
| relatedStructure | AnatomicalStructure | Related anatomical structure(s) that are not part of the system but relate or connect to it, such as vascular bundles associated with an organ system. |
| relatedTherapy | MedicalTherapy | A medical therapy related to this anatomy. |
| relevantSpecialty | MedicalSpecialty | If applicable, a medical specialty in which this entity is relevant. |
| sameAs | URL | URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website. |
| study | MedicalStudy | A medical study or trial related to this entity. |
