| neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. | ventral cord neuron | ventral cord motoneuron | WBbt:0005300 |
| neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. | head neuron | WBbt:0006751 | |
| cell that has the potential to form structural part of a vulva. | vulval precursor cell | VPC | WBbt:0007809 |
| Blast cell which divides to product sex-specific muscle cells. | sex myoblast | WBbt:0008373 | |
| 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 |
