| a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring. | ventral nerve cord | ventral cord | WBbt:0005829 |
| neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. | head neuron | WBbt:0006751 | |
| the ganglion that lies above and behind the rectum in the tail, in close continuity with the anal hypodermal ridge. It contains 3 neuron cell bodies (DVA, DVB and DVC) that send their neuronal processes into the ventral nerve cord via dorso-rectal commissures that encircle the anus. The ganglion contains no local neuropil in the hermaphrodite. In the adult male tail, this ganglion gains additional neurons and some local neuropil. | dorso-rectal ganglion | WBbt:0005212 |
