|
neuron degeneration
|
Cells specialized for receiving, conducting and transmitting impulses in the nervous system are observed to undergo a dramatic decrease in cell volume, collapse of the vacuoles and processes, and complete disintegration of the plasma membrane and most organelles. |

WBPhenotype:0001676
|
touch receptor cell morphology variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of any neuron within the class of sensory neurons responsible for relaying mechanical stimuli to the animal compared to control. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001398
|
neurite morphology variant
|
Animals display variations in the structure, organization of components, or spatial pattern of any projection stemming from a neuronal cell, compared to that observed in control animals. |
|
WBPhenotype:0001331
|
motor neuron morphology variant
|
Animals display variations in the structure or organization of components of the motor neuron, internal to the cell itself or in relation to the cellular environment compared to that observed in control animals. A motor neuron is a neuronal cell that synapses to an effector (muscle, gland etc.). |
|
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:0001679
|
multipolar neuron
|
Neurons have more than one process extending from the cell body. |
