Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
The extracellular sinus formed by the excretory duct and pore cells.	Excretory duct		WBbt:0005777
The outlet of the excretory sinus to the exterior environment through the cuticle, on the ventral side of the head, just behind the nerve ring.	excretory pore	pore	WBbt:0005778
