| 2 | Body SystemE | Physiological Systems and Anatomical Regions |
| 3 | Root Operation0 | Introduction Putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products |
| 4 | Body System / RegionQ | Cranial Cavity and Brain |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | SubstanceA | Stem Cells, Embryonic |
