Brit.

/ˈnjʊərə(ʊ)mɑːst/,

/ˈnjʊərə(ʊ)mast/, U.S.

/ˈn(j)ʊroʊˌmæst/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: neuro- comb. form, Greek μαστός.

Etymology: < neuro- comb. form + ancient Greek μαστός breast (see masto- comb. form²).

Zoology.

Any of numerous small mechanoreceptive organs in fishes and in larval and aquatic amphibians, typically consisting of a strip of ciliated cells surrounded by supporting cells and forming part of the lateral line system.

1885 R. R. Wright in Amer. Naturalist 19 187 I..would suggest for the ‘nerve-hillocks’and other sense organs of the same character, whatever their shape, the term neuromast.

1912 J. S. Kingsley Compar. Anat. Vertebr. 167 Distally the fibres terminate in peculiar collections of sense cells known as sense hillocks or neuromasts occurring in the inner ear and in the lateral line organs of the ichthyopsida.

1937 Proc. Royal Soc. B. 123 474 The distinction between pit organs and canal neuromasts is purely conjectural.

1957 O. Lowenstein in M. E. Brown Physiol. Fishes II. ii. 156 Fundamentally the end-organs of the lateral line system consist of groups of secondary sensory cells called neuromasts.

1962 K. F. Lagler et al. Ichthyol. iii. 105 Each ampulla contains sensory nerve endings (neuromast cells) in a gelatinous terminal cup.

1974 M. Hildebrand Anal. Vertebr. Struct. xvi. 395 The lateral line system..is present in fishes and in both larval and aquatic adult amphibians. It consists of thousands of microscopic organs called neuromasts.
