Identifier Name Description
WBPhenotype:0000907 anus morphology variant Any variation in the structural appearance of the caudal opening of the rectum in the tail compared to control animals.
WBPhenotype:0000709 pharyngeal morphology variant Variations in the form or composition of the mouthparts at the anterior end of the digestive tract which contain a series of radial muscles, related neurons and epithelial cells, and several gland cells which may aid in digestion compared to control (Wormatlas).
WBPhenotype:0000710 intestinal morphology variant Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of the chain of cuboidal cells which form a central lumen lined by microvilli that allow the passage of food, compared to control. Food passes from the posterior pharynx to the intestine where it is digested and then on to the rectum which processes the waste products for excretion (Wormatlas).
WBPhenotype:0000293 alimentary system pigmentation variant Animals exhibit variations in the accumulation or expression of biochromes or any other substances that alter transparency/translucency of the alimentary system.
WBPhenotype:0000909 pharyngeal intestinal valve morphology variant Any variation in the structure or appearance of the cells that form a narrow passage connecting the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior intestine compared to control. In C. elegans this valve is composed of 3 pairs of cells each forming a flattened disc-like ring and is lined by a layer of cuticle (Wormatlas).
WBPhenotype:0000910 rectal morphology variant Any variation in the morphological appearance of the rectum compared to control animals.
WBPhenotype:0000908 cloacal morphology variant Any variation in the structural appearance of the epithelial chamber that links the genital and alimentary tracts to the exterior via the anus (cloacal opening) compared to control animals.
