Description

I'm wondering if this chain is correct. Chatted with @mellybelly about this and was looking for impact
by querying (develops_from some ectoderm) and (develops_from some mesoderm)

The chain is responsible for 6 subclasses

perilymph
otolymph
endolymph
"notochordal fluid"
"dorsal meso-duodenum"
"chorionic ectoderm"

I'm not sure about whether these are correct or not - don't know enough anatomy.

However it should not be right in the following scenario.

A' develops from A
B' develops from B
at some point A',B' fuse to make C, with parts retaining their identity.

At that point, C develops from A' and C develops from B'

A' part of C
C develops from A',B'
but A' doesn't develop from B'

Research direction

Review the develops_from and part_of assertions for perilymph, otolymph, endolymph, notochordal fluid, dorsal meso-duodenum, and chorionic ectoderm. Compare them with the proposed fusion scenario and the develops_from queries for ectoderm and mesoderm; done means the relation choices are anatomically and logically agreed upon.
