| Name: | otic vesicle |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | otic capsule, otocyst, ov |
| Definition: | Epithelial sac present beside the fifth rhombomere; forms the semicircular canals dorsally and the otolith organs ventrally, and houses the acoustico-vestibular sensory epithelia (maculae) of hair cells. (Also see Anatomical Atlas entry for ear by T. Whitfield.) |

| Name: | has fewer parts of type |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | decreased number of, has decreased number of, has fewer physical parts of type |
| Definition: | The bearer of this quality has_part < n AND has_part > 0 of the indicated entity type, where n is the normal amount for a comparable organism. Note that the bearer of the quality is the whole, not the part. Formally: If a bearer entity e has fewer parts of type X at time t, then the number of instances x of X at t such that x part_of e is < n, where n is either the normal number for comparable entities, or n is stated explicitly. |

| Name: | motile cilium |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | microtubule-based flagellum, motile cilia, motile primary cilia, motile primary cilium, motile secondary cilium, nodal cilium |
| Definition: | A cilium which may have a variable arrangement of axonemal microtubules and also contains molecular motors. It may beat with a whip-like pattern that promotes cell motility or transport of fluids and other cells across a cell surface, such as on epithelial cells that line the lumenal ducts of various tissues; or they may display a distinct twirling motion that directs fluid flow asymmetrically across the cellular surface to affect asymmetric body plan organization. Motile cilia can be found in single as well as multiple copies per cell. |
