| type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx. | pharyngeal muscle cell | WBbt:0005451 | |
| a rigid external coating which is secreted by the hypodermis, seam and some transitional epithelial cells which covers the outer body, the major openings into the body cavity from the exterior, and two large sensory bristles, the male spicules. The cuticle of the spicules, the hook, and of some portions of the spicule channels is especially rigid and is probably sclerotized. Similar sclerotic features are occasionally noted in the ventral surface of the male tail fan. | cuticle | exoskeleton | WBbt:0005755 |
| cuticle-lined lumenal region surrounded by pharyngeal epithelium, situated at the anterior end of pharynx. | buccal cavity | WBbt:0005255 | |
| a structure surrounds the lumen of pharyngeal terminal bulb that is formed by folded cuticles and serves the function of grinding up food, bacteria. | grinder | WBbt:0008408 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| The fourth stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 40-49.5 hours after fertilization, 26-35.5 hours after hatch. | L4 larva Ce | WBls:0000038 | ||
| The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. | adult Ce | WBls:0000041 | ||
| The stage when an animal shifts from L4 larva to adult. It includes the synthesis of new cuticle, cease of phrayngeal pumping during a lethargus stage, and the shed off of old cuticle. | L4-adult molt Ce | WBls:0000040 |
