The physical extent of an animal. bodies human body HumanBody <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanBody" class="cyc_term">HumanBody</a> is the collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WholeBody" class="cyc_term">WholeBody</a> which are the bodies of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HomoSapiens" class="cyc_term">HomoSapiens</a>.

(The WholeBody) the body UniqueAnatomicalPartType A default pairwise disjoint collection of collections (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SiblingDisjointCollectionType" class="cyc_term">SiblingDisjointCollectionType</a>) and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalBodyPartType" class="cyc_term">AnimalBodyPartType</a>. Instances are types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalBodyRegion" class="cyc_term">AnimalBodyRegion</a> that occur uniquely in the organisms (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Organism_Whole" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a>) that have them. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Head_AnimalBodyPart" class="cyc_term">Head_AnimalBodyPart</a> is an instance of this collection. Contrast with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SymmetricAnatomicalPartType" class="cyc_term">SymmetricAnatomicalPartType</a>. type of unique anatomical part WholeBody body The entire body of an animal. The physical extent of an animal. A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalBodyRegion" class="cyc_term">AnimalBodyRegion</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalBodyPart" class="cyc_term">AnimalBodyPart</a> is an anatomical part of some living animal, and thus is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BiologicalLivingObject" class="cyc_term">BiologicalLivingObject</a> (q.v). <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalBodyPart" class="cyc_term">AnimalBodyPart</a> includes both highly localized organs (for example, hearts) and physical systems composed of parts distributed throughout an animal's body (such as an animal's circulatory system and nervous system). Note that severed limbs and removed organs are _not_ instances of this collection, since they are not _parts_ of some living animal. body part AnimalBodyPart WholeBody body The entire body of an animal. The physical extent of an animal. WholeBody body The entire body of an animal. The physical extent of an animal. The collection of all autonomous, largely self-sufficient, existing things that are considered separated (in some significant way) from other similar things. independent thing IndependentThing organism A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BiologicalLivingObject" class="cyc_term">BiologicalLivingObject</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Organism_Whole" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a> is a biological living object (BLO) that is a whole, and not part of some other BLO. Most instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Organism_Whole" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a> are capable of existing and reproducing while physically separate from other organisms (with allowances for eating and mating). Abnormal BLOs which are nonetheless considered to be instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Organism_Whole" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a> include instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Virus" class="cyc_term">Virus</a>, as well as sterile hybrids and colony organisms, like those in slime molds or the instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PortugueseManOfWar" class="cyc_term">PortugueseManOfWar</a>.

SolidTangibleThing An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingStuffType" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>, and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidTangibleThing" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a> is a piece of stuff possessing many of the properties that matter in a solid state (see the constant <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Solid_StateOfMatter" class="cyc_term">Solid_StateOfMatter</a>) exhibits (although not all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidTangibleThing" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a> are formally in a solid state). Instances have a shape independent from their container, and, when deformed with sufficient force (which may be small for weak, brittle materials or high for materials that deform easily), they break. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidTangibleThing" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a>s include: pieces of substances in a solid state of matter, such as ice cubes; solid mixtures like a quarter-dollar coin or a paper bag; and complex mixtures of biological origin that behave like solids, e.g., bone. Note that some pieces of matter that are formally in a solid state (for example, pieces of clay) are not instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidTangibleThing" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a>, since they do not readily break when deformed; for this reason, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Solid_StateOfMatter" class="cyc_term">Solid_StateOfMatter</a> is not a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidTangibleThing" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a>. Collections of the solid form of any type of stuff can be created using <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolidFn" class="cyc_term">SolidFn</a> (q.v.). solid object BT <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is. broaderTerm WholeBody body The entire body of an animal. The physical extent of an animal. prettyString (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use.
