WormMine: Phenotype WBPhenotype:0000972 neuronal sheath cell morphology variant

• Description: Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the glia-like support cell of neuronal sensilla that ensheathes the dendrite tips and or processes of neurons, from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, sheath cells have highly invaginated and vesiculated surfaces, which provide a specialized environment for dendritic structures.

WBPhenotype:0000899	epithelial cell morphology variant	Any variation in the morphological appearance of epithelial cells compared to control animals.
WBPhenotype:0001528	sensillum accessory cell morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of the sensillum channel including the sheath and or socket cells, their junctions with each other, channel neurons or surrounding epithelia compared to control.
WBPhenotype:0000969	accessory cell morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure, organization or placement of the cells that support sensory neurons, compared to that observed in control animals.
