| 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. |

| Name: | ciliary basal body |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | basal body, cilial basal body, cilium basal body, kinetosome, microtubule basal body |
| Definition: | A membrane-tethered, short cylindrical array of microtubules and associated proteins found at the base of a eukaryotic cilium (also called flagellum) that is similar in structure to a centriole and derives from it. The cilium basal body is the site of assembly and remodeling of the cilium and serves as a nucleation site for axoneme growth. As well as anchoring the cilium, it is thought to provide a selective gateway regulating the entry of ciliary proteins and vesicles by intraflagellar transport. |
