| a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring. | ventral nerve cord | ventral cord | WBbt:0005829 |
| entire syncytium of hyp7 | hyp7 syncytium | hyp7 | WBbt:0005734 |
| Blast cell lying ventrolaterally in the late embryo and L1 larval stage which divides during the late L1 larva in stereotypical reiterated fashion to give rise to many motor neurons which begin function in the ventral cord and preanal ganglion of the early L2 larva, as well as hypodermal cells (which fuse into hyp7) and a series of programmed cell deaths. In addition, the Pn.p daughters of P3 through P8 lineages persist without fusing into the hyp7 syncytium until mid L3 stage when they can be induced to divide further to produce vulval epithelial cells (vulA - vulF) or more hyp7 cells. P0 is also known as W. | ventral cord blast cell | P cell | WBbt:0008115 |
| Ventrolateral ectoblast of the body that gives rise to neurons, hypodermis and seam cells. | V cell | WBbt:0008597 |

| The second stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 25.5-32.5 hours after fertilization, 11.5-18.5 hours after hatch. | L2 larva Ce | WBls:0000027 | ||
| The first stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 14-25.5 hours after fertilization, 0-11.5 hours after hatch. | L1 larva Ce | WBls:0000024 | ||
| The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. | adult Ce | WBls:0000041 | ||
| The third stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 32.5-40 hours after fertilization, 18.5-26 hours after hatch. | L3 larva Ce | WBls:0000035 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo. | fully-elongated embryo Ce | WBls:0000021 |
