neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
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
a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents.	anal depressor muscle	dilator muscle	WBbt:0004292
the most extensive region of neuropil in the animal, consists of a large toroidal bundle of processes.	nerve ring	circumpharyngeal nerve ring	WBbt:0006749
left intestinal muscle cell, attach to intestine and body wall anterior to anus	mu_int_L	lineage name: ABplpppppaa	WBbt:0003833
right intestinal muscle cell, attach to intestine and body wall anterior to anus	mu_int_R	lineage name: MSppaapp	WBbt:0003822
