Name: posterior lateral line neuromast
Synonyms: neuromast posterior, neuromasts posterior
Definition: Neuromast that is part of the posterior lateral line. (Also see Anatomical Atlas entry for lateral line by T. Whitfield.)
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000940]
Name: posterior lateral line neuromast hair cell morphogenesis
Synonyms:
Definition: The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs when a posterior lateral line neuromast hair cell progresses from its initial formation to its mature state. A neuromast hair cell is a hair cell that acts as a sensory receptor of the neuromast; it is morphologically polarized as a result of the relative position of the single kinocilium and the clusters of stereocilia on its apical surface.
