|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| somatic cell that situates at the tip of a gonad arm. | distal tip cell | DTC | WBbt:0006865 |
| five pairs of thin gonadal sheath cells form a single layer covering the germ line component of each arm, each pair occupying a stereotyped position along the gonad proximal-distal axis. | gonadal sheath cell | WBbt:0005828 | |
| Nucleated cell which has a diploid set of chromosomes. | somatic cell | FMA:72300 | WBbt:0008378 |
