Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
gland cell of the secretory-excretory system, sends processes to ring, opens into excretory duct. excretory gland cell exc gl WBbt:0005776
one member of Amphid neurons, single ciliated endings, probably chemo-sensory; project into ring via commissure from ventral ganglion, make diverse synaptic connections in ring neuropil ASEL lineage name: ABalppppppaa WBbt:0003904
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
Amphid wing cells, neurons having ciliated sheet-like sensory endings closely associated with amphid sheath AWCL lineage name: ABplpaaaaap WBbt:0003827
