| 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. |

| 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. |
