Morphologic Abnormality Modeling

The morphologic abnormality subhierarchy is located two levels below the Body structure hierarchy with siblings Apoptosis and Structure resulting from tissue repair process:

• SNOMED CT concept

  • Body structure (body structure)

    • Body structure, altered from its original anatomical structure (morphologic abnormality)

      • Apoptosis (morphologic abnormality)

      • Morphologically abnormal structure (morphologic abnormality)

      • Structure resulting from tissue repair process (morphologic abnormality)

The concepts in the morphologic abnormality hierarchy represent abnormal body structures.

The subhierarchy of 118956008 |Body structure, altered from its original anatomical structure (morphologic abnormality)| is to remain primitive. Authors are not to define morphologic abnormality concepts.
