Phenotype: anterior macula has fewer parts of type hair cell anterior macula, abnormal
Note: This statement combines anatomy and/or ontology terms with phenotype quality terms to create a complete phenotype (EQ) statement. For detailed information on individual terms, click the hyperlinked term name.
Name: anterior macula
Synonyms: am, anterior sensory patch
Definition: Macula that is located in the developing anterior inner ear, and gives rise to the macula utricle. (See Anatomical Atlas entry for sensory patches of the ear by T. Whitfield.)
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000168]
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.
Ontology: Phenotypic Quality Ontology [PATO:0002001]
Name: hair cell anterior macula
Synonyms: sensory hair cells anterior macula
Definition: Specialized neuronal receptor cells of the anterior macula. (Also see Anatomical Atlas entry for hair cells by T. Whitfield.)
