Please add:
abnormal Kimura membrane morphology as a child of "abnormal tectorial membrane morphology [MP:0003149]" DEF: any structural anomaly of the thickening of the lower surface of the tectorial membrane into which the hair bundles of the outer hair cells are imbedded J:160851, J:203482, J:101691
abnormal tectorial membrane marginal band morphology DEF: any structural anomaly of the dense thickening of the lateral edge of the tectorial membrane
abnormal tectorial membrane covernet morphology DEF: any structural anomaly of the anastomosing network of large caliber fibrils that run predominantly longitudinally over the upper surface of the tectorial membrane; in mice, the covernet fibrils are continuous with the underlying striated-sheet matrix of the TM, and appear as electron-dense rods that can be a micron or more in diameter
abnormal tectorial membrane striated-sheet matrix morphology DEF: any structural anomaly of the laminated, striated-sheet matrix within which collagen fibrils of the TM are imbedded; the striated sheet matrix is formed by two types of fine-diameter collagen filaments, a light and a dark staining type that lie in parallel within the plane of each sheet and are extensively linked along their length by staggered cross bridges; it originates medially within the sulcal zone, extends to the marginal band and is particularly evident in apical regions of the cochlea, where it has a less compressed appearance J:215775
