WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8977

• Pattern: Strong expression was observed in three neurons located in the head and throughout the intestine, particularly in the anterior intestinal cells. The three neurons were identified as RIH and I1L/R.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8977
• Remark: Picture: Fig 6.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
