Add inverseOf 'innervates' (RO_0002134) #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

presumably called "innervated by"

Also, presumably this relation pair can be used for vertebrate muscle 
innveration - if so, add example

Strictly, this cannot be used between a nerve and a muscle:

label: innervates
expands_to: has_fasciculating_neuron_projection some (neuron projection and 
(overlaps some (synapse that part_of some Y?)))

For Y to be a muscle, the synapse in question must be part of a muscle.  But I 
think the relationship here is actually overlap.

But I don't think there'd be any serious problems caused by relaxing the 
relation to use overlaps instead as this wouldn't make any existing usage 
wrong.  One way to do this might be to make the relationship expansion more 
descriptive - naming presynaptic and postsynaptic components:

has_fasciculating_neuron_projection some (neuron projection that has_part some 
(presynaptic terminal that part_of some (synapse that has_part some 
(post-synaptic terminal that part_of some Y?)))
