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 includes circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, immune, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, urinary, vestibular, and other systems.

Property	Expected Type	Description
Properties from AnatomicalSystem
`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.
`comprisedOf`	AnatomicalSystem or AnatomicalStructure	Specifying something physically contained by something else. Typically used here for the underlying anatomical structures, such as organs, that comprise the anatomical system.
`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.
Properties from MedicalEntity
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`belongsTo`	MedicalEntity	Specifying a resource to which another resource belongs. Typically here it's used to link a medicalRecord to the Patient where isPartOf can't be used'. e.g :MedicalRecord schema:belongsTo :Patient
`bodyPosition`	http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/SNOMEDCT/364830008	Specifying a position of human body or anatomical entity in given space e.g. Supine body position, standing position, sitting position etc.
`causalityStatus`	MedicalEntity	Causality score or ranking following a codified system (like HL7 causalityExpectation) or not.
`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.
`dateTime`	DateTime	Specifying an instant of something. Typically derived from W3C Time Ontology this describes a point in time when an event or action occurs.
`guideline`	MedicalGuideline	A medical guideline related to this entity.
`interval`	QuantitativeValue	Typically derived from W3C Time Ontology this describes a time interval when an event or action occurs.
`medicalDepartment`	MedicalDepartment	Specifying the medical department where a procedure or a care event is taking place or attended by a patient.
`medicalScore`	MedicalScore	Specifying a medical score resource
`medicineSystem`	MedicineSystem	The system of medicine that includes this MedicalEntity, for example 'evidence-based', 'homeopathic', 'chiropractic', etc.
`physiologicalRole`	PhysiologicalEntity	Specifying any physiological role of something
`playsRole`	MedicalEntity	Specifying the role played by an agent
`possibleCause`	MedicalEntity	Specifying a possible cause of something
`rankOrder`	Number	The rank order number of something. Typically used together with schema:numerator and schema:denominator. eg. refill number 4 out of 10.
`recognizingAuthority`	Organization	If applicable, the organization that officially recognizes this entity as part of its endorsed system of medicine.
`relevantSpecialty`	MedicalSpecialty	If applicable, a medical specialty in which this entity is relevant.
`severity`	Severity	Specifying a severity evaluation of a disease: typically by classification resource or ranking scale: mild, moderate, severe, life threatening or fatal
`study`	MedicalStudy	A medical study or trial related to this entity.
`totalValue`	Number	Total number of something.
Properties from Thing
`additionalType`	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. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`description`	Text	A short description of the item.
`image`	ImageObject or URL	URL of an image of the item.
`name`	Text	The name of the item.
`potentialAction`	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`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, Freebase page, or official website.
`url`	URL	URL of the item.

`associatedAnatomy`	PhysicalActivity or MedicalCondition	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.
`partOfSystem`	AnatomicalStructure	The anatomical or organ system that this structure is part of.
