WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr592

• Pattern: Expression is generally neuronal in the head ganglia (less extensive in anterior of the head ganglia), ventral nerve cord, tail ganglia, muscle cells of vulva and in adults expression is observed at low levels in the body wall muscle cells. Expression is faint or absent in the CAN cells and less extensive in anterior head ganglion.
• Primary Identifier: Expr592
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). acy-1 = sgs-1 --WS59.

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
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

ganglion anterior to the anus.	preanal ganglion		WBbt:0005448
the ganglion that lies above and behind the rectum in the tail, in close continuity with the anal hypodermal ridge. It contains 3 neuron cell bodies (DVA, DVB and DVC) that send their neuronal processes into the ventral nerve cord via dorso-rectal commissures that encircle the anus. The ganglion contains no local neuropil in the hermaphrodite. In the adult male tail, this ganglion gains additional neurons and some local neuropil.	dorso-rectal ganglion		WBbt:0005212
The left and right lumbar ganglia lie behind the pre-anal ganglion in the tail, in lateral positions. Each contains 12 neuron cell bodies that send most of their neuronal processes into the ventral nerve cord via lumbar commissures and the pre-anal ganglion. There is no local neuropil in these ganglia in the hermaphrodite, instead they form most synapses in the pre-anal ganglion. Most lumbar neurons have sensory functions. In the adult male tail, these two ganglia gain many additional neurons and have some local neuropil. The lumbar neurons lie in close association with the lateral hypodermis, and most are posterior to the anus.	lumbar ganglion	lumbar lateral ganglia	WBbt:0005830
