WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9845

• Pattern: Broad GFP expression was observed from early embryogenesis through to the mature adult. Expression pattern components included neurons in head, tail and ventral nerve cord, cells in the head that are probably muscle cells, vulval and uterine muscle, and in the body wall, in the hypodermis and possibly muscle. Some weak intestinal GFP expression was seen occasionally but inconsistently.

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
