| Name: | floor plate |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | floorplate, fp |
| Definition: | Multi-tissue structure that is the ventral-most aspect of the developing neural tube. The floor plate is a specialized glial structure with secretory function that spans the rostral-caudal axis from the midbrain to the tail regions. The floor plate is one of first structures that differentiate in the developing nervous system. |

| Name: | maintenance of ciliary planar beating movement pattern |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Any process involved in maintaining the planar beating pattern of ciliary movement pattern. Connection between the outer doublets and the central pair via the radial spokes constrains ciliary movement to the planar beating pattern. Cilia that lack this connection, such as those in the embryonic node or Kupfer's vesicle, display radial movement. |
