Term:	Kupffer's vesicle epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry
Note:	This page represents a term created by the combination ("post-composition") of two ontology terms. For more information on the individual terms, click the hyperlinked name.

Name:	Kupffer's vesicle
Synonyms:	ciliated organ of asymmetry
Definition:	Small but distinctive epithelial sac containing fluid, located midventrally posterior to the yolk cell or its extension, and transiently present during most of the segmentation period. Kupffer's vesicle has been compared to the mouse embryonic node.
Ontology:	Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000001]

Name:	epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry
Synonyms:	cilium movement involved in determinationof L/R asymmetry, Kuppfer's vesicle cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry, nodal cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry
Definition:	The movement of cilia of epithelial cells of the Left Right Organizer (LRO), also referred to as the node in mouse or the Kupffer's vesicle in zebrafish, resulting in the leftward fluid flow across the LRO and generation or transport of a signal which determines asymmetry in an organism's body plan with respect to the left and right halves.
