---|---|
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. |

Name: | auditory receptor cell |
---|---|
Synonyms: | auditory hair cell, auditory receptor cells |
