WormMine: Phenotype WBPhenotype:0000914 excretory gland cell morphology variant

• Description: Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of a pair of large cells in the head that fuse to form a single gland whose contents are released into the excretory duct through a specialized secretory membrane, compared to control (Wormatlas).

WBPhenotype:0000901	gland cell morphology variant	Any variation in the morphological appearance of gland cells compared to control animals.
WBPhenotype:0000601	excretory secretory system morphology variant	Variations in the form, structure or composition of related tissues that allow the animal to secrete saline fluid and maintain a proper salt balance compared to control. In C. elegans, four cell types (1 pore cell, 1 duct cell, 1 canal cell and a fused pair of gland cells) make up the excretory system (Wormatlas).
