Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0000505	male ray morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan compared to control animals. In C. elegans, nine bilateral rays project from the tail in a radial pattern with a smooth and slightly tapered appearance. Although one neuronal member of each ray sensillum is exposed to the outside, male rays rarely take up dye.
WBPhenotype:0001535	deirid sensillum morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the sensilla situated laterally in the anterior (ADE) or the posterior (PDE) of the animal compared to control. In C. elegans, each of the 4 deirid sensilla (2ADE, 2 PDE) contains a pair of neurons with ciliated dendritic processes that lie in a channel formed by a socket cell and invaginated sheath cell. The cilia of the deirids terminate in the subcuticle and are not exposed to the outside; however occasionally take up FITC.
WBPhenotype:0001530	cephalic sensillum morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of a specialized sensory organ in the head that contains a CEP receptor neuron, compared to control. In C. elegans, cells in these organs are refractory to FITC dye uptake.
WBPhenotype:0001526	ciliated neuron morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any one of the specialized sensory receptor cells of the nervous system that compared to control animals. In C. elegans, these specialized cells are characterized as having axoneme containing dendritic projections emanating from their cell body.
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:0001531	labial sensillum morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the sensilla of the mouth compared to control. In C. elegans, these sensillum are arranged in two (inner and outer) concentric rings around the mouth.
WBPhenotype:0001527	amphid phasmid sensillum morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of any specialized chemosensory organs located on the head or along the tail, compared to that observed in control animals.
WBPhenotype:0001556	dauer sensillum variant	Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the sense organs comprised of ciliated sensory nerve endings enveloped by sheath and/or socket cells, from that observed in control animals.

WBPhenotype:0000604	nervous system morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any component that is part of the complement of organ tissues that serve to detect, relay and coordinate information about an animal's internal and external environments and to initiate and integrate its effector responses and activities, compared to that in control animals.
WBPhenotype:0002553	organ phenotype	A phenotype affecting a particular organ.
