WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8296

• Pattern: Expressed in the SPC motor neurons, PCB and PCA postcloacal sensilla (p.c.s.) neurons, male spicule protractor muscles and anal depressor muscle, VD and DD ventral cord neurons, some tail and nerve ring neurons, and body wall muscles. In hermaphrodites, YFP expression is in the same set of cells, except those specific to males.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8296
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 3C,D.

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
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
Neuron class of six motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles. Each cell has a short, posteriorly directed and a longer, anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body. The anterior process has a branch, which leaves the ventral cord as a commissure and runs round to the dorsal cord.	DD neuron		WBbt:0005270
Neuron class of thirteen motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate ventral muscles. Each cell has an anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body.	VD neuron		WBbt:0005303
neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum.	tail neuron		WBbt:0006759
the most extensive region of neuropil in the animal, consists of a large toroidal bundle of processes.	nerve ring	circumpharyngeal nerve ring	WBbt:0006749
	spicule protractor muscle		WBbt:0005826
