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
female genital.	vulva		WBbt:0006748
an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization.	spermatheca		WBbt:0005319
Epidermal layer.	hypodermis	epidermis	WBbt:0005733
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
Complement of nervous tissue (neurones, nerves, receptors and support cells) serving to detect, relay and coordinate information about an animal`s internal and external environments and to initiate and integrate its effector responses and activities.	nervous system		WBbt:0005735
neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx.	head neuron		WBbt:0006751
The organ in which the eggs are developed and protected until laid.	uterus		WBbt:0006760
a group of hypodermal cells that lie along the apical midline of the hypodermis, at the extreme left and right sides between nose and tail	seam cell	lateral hypodermis	WBbt:0005753
the most extensive region of neuropil in the animal, consists of a large toroidal bundle of processes.	nerve ring	circumpharyngeal nerve ring	WBbt:0006749
