WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr722

• Pattern: Staining is observed in along the entire length of the pharyngeal masculature, vulval muscle cells and neighbouring body wall muscle cells, anal depressor, anal sphincter and intestinal muscles and in the contractile sheath in proximal region of the somatic gonad. In addition, staining is observed in the adult male sex muscles along the lateral and ventral surfaces.
• Primary Identifier: Expr722
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).

type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx.	pharyngeal muscle cell		WBbt:0005451
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
