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 |

4 Life Stages
Remark | Definition | Other Name | Public Name | Primary Identifier |
---|---|---|---|---|
The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. | adult Ce | WBls:0000041 | ||
The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo. | fully-elongated embryo Ce | WBls:0000021 | ||
A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood. | larva Ce | WBls:0000023 | ||
The C. elegans life stage spanning 350-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The stage that embryo starts elongation until elongation is over. | elongating embryo Ce | WBls:0000015 |
