WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2029

• Pattern: Strong expression is seen predominantly in the muscles of the pharynx, the pharyngeo-intestinal valve, and in cells surrounding the rectum, which appear to be the anal depressor muscle and the intestino-rectal valve. Other expression is occasionally seen in the vulval muscle cells (vm1 and vm2), bodywall muscle cell nuclei, and cells within the tail spike. Expression is seen from late embryo to adulthood.

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

Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents.	anal depressor muscle	dilator muscle	WBbt:0004292
