| 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.) |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000051] |
| Name: | epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | cilium movement involved in fluid flow, epithelial cilium beating |
| Definition: | The directed, self-propelled movement of cilia of epithelial cells. Depending on the type of cell, there may be one or many cilia per cell. This movement is usually coordinated between many epithelial cells, and serves to move extracellular fluid. |

| Name: | decreased frequency |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | infrequent, low frequency |
| Definition: | A frequency which is relatively low. |
