Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom.	excretory canal	canal	WBbt:0005775

Pattern	Labeled EXC-2 is located at the lumen of the excretory canal, in the corpus, posterior bulb, and pharyngeal-intestinal valve of the pharynx, as well as in the uterine seam and intestinal-rectal valve.	Primary Identifier	Expr14340
Subcellular Localization	Labeled EXC-2 is located apical to canal cytoplasm, as determined via cross-sectional fluorescence intensity measurements. This result was confirmed by evaluating the subcellular location of EXC-2 relative to a known apical membrane protein, ERM-1 (Gbel et al. 2004). The results demonstrate that EXC-2 and ERM-1 show overlapping expression at the canal apical (luminal) membrane.
