female genital. vulva   WBbt:0006748
A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine. pharyngeal-intestinal valve cardia WBbt:0005767
A valve tissue that connects the spermatheca and the uterus of a hermaphrodite gonad. spermathecal-uterine junction sp-ut valve WBbt:0006756
the feeding organ, a neuro-muscular pump in the head of the animal, used to ingest food, bacteria suspended in liquid, filter them out, grind them up and transport posteriorly into the instestine. pharynx esophagus WBbt:0003681
The organ in which the eggs are developed and protected until laid. uterus   WBbt:0006760
H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans. excretory cell excretory canal cell WBbt:0005812
