WBPhenotype:0000980
|
pharyngeal contraction variant
|
Any variation in the muscle contractions that control feeding compared to control. Contractions are necessary for bacterial uptake from the surrounding environment. |
|
WBPhenotype:0000378
|
pharyngeal pumping shallow
|
Pharyngeal muscle contractions show less displacement than that observed in control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001006
|
pharyngeal pumping rate variant
|
The number of coordinated contraction-relaxation cycles (pumps) exhibited by the pharyngeal muscle deviates from that observed for control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001281
|
stuffed pharynx
|
Pharynx becomes clogged with food. In C. elegans, this is often a result of pharyngeal pumping defects. |
|
WBPhenotype:0002442
|
pharyngeal pump duration increased
|
The duration of the contraction of the pharyngeal muscle during pumping is increased compared to controls. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001308
|
weak pumping
|
The contraction and relaxation movements of the pharyngeal muscle that mediate feeding is not as robust as compared to control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0000335
|
pharynx slippery
|
Failure of pharyngeal contractions to trap and transport bacteria posteriorly. In C. elegans this defect results in a distention of the pharyngeal lumen. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001004
|
pharyngeal relaxation variant
|
Any variation in the relaxation of pharyngeal muscles after contraction events compared to control. |
