| Name: | posterior lateral line primordium |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | posterior lateral line primordia |
| Definition: | A migrating group of cells originating from the posterior lateral line placode. The primordium deposits seven to nine neuromasts and interneuromasts between them during its posterior migration to the tail. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001157] |
| Name: | adherens junction |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | cell-cell adherens junction |
| Definition: | A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules. |

| Name: | decreased object quality |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | A quality of an object that has a value that is decreased compared to normal or average. |
