new term request: interoceptive system, and issue with neural system

[tgbugs]

This seems to be missing from anatomical systems. I'm not 100% sure that it should be classified as an UBERON:0000467 ! anatomical system or be treated like the motor system as an UBERON:0011216 ! organ system subdivision given how many other anatomical systems it interacts with. On further review it seems that maybe UBERON:0023879 ! neural system has been misplaced and should be made a subclass of UBERON:0000467 ! anatomical system?

OK, added new term, and linked existing interoceptor class to this. For anatomical systems, the distinction between system and subsystem can be arbitrary. It's traditional to have nervous, renal, digestive etc at the level of system, making the further divisions subsystems. Can we provide an equivalence axiom for neural system? 'organ system subdivision' and part-of some 'nervous system' might be too permissive, lots of things like somatic nervous system would classify there. Even though this firs the text definition, judging by how it was originall used in nifstd it seems the intent was for smaller subsystems? Alternately, 'neural system' could be obsoleted, unless there is a use case for it.

We have a use case for neural system, or at least we found it useful to employ that terminology when talking about which 'neural system' was thought to be involved in a certain behavior or behavioral task.

I am not sure the equivalence axiom suggested works as desired, and even if it did there is a question of whether the position of neural system is correct. Looking at UBERON:0001032 ! sensory system it seems that those should also be members of UBERON:0023879 ! neural system but the definitions are inverted due to the 'has part' some ('part of' some 'nervous system') on UBERON:0001032 ! sensory system. Looking at UBERON:0025533 ! proprioceptive system and its definition, I don't see why it was not classified as a sensory system (or maybe even as part of the somatosensory system, but I would need to review the literature for that). Perhaps an oversight in nifstd?

Regardless, it would be nice if neural system could have as subclasses all the sensory system classes, but I think that some of them, such as the UBERON:3000428 ! perilymphatic system, don't fit the definition.

This is just the expansion of the shortcut "overlaps" relation. Looks like it was added as part of the still ongoing #175 - structures like the labyrinths of the ear have parts in common with the nervous system, but also extend beyond it.

I'll think more about this. Maybe we need a subclass sensory neural system for sensory systems that are entirely contained within the nervous system
