| neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. | ventral cord neuron | ventral cord motoneuron | WBbt:0005300 |
| 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 |
| Epidermal layer. | hypodermis | epidermis | WBbt:0005733 |
| neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. | head neuron | WBbt:0006751 | |
| neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum. | tail neuron | WBbt:0006759 | |
| Contractile cell that makes up muscle tissue. | muscle cell | WBbt:0003675 | |
| reproductive system | WBbt:0005747 |
