Data modified according to Shawn Lockery's expression pattern curations.   Expr334 In adult hermaphrodites, strong staining were observed in three synaptic rich structures: nerve ring, ventral cord and dorsal cord processes, sites of neuromuscular junctions onto body wall muscles. Stained majority of the pharyngeal nervous system processes. Less intensive staining of the ventral and dorsal sublateral processes and several processes directed anteriorly from the nerve ring. Staining was often restricted to punctate patches occuring at frequent intervals. In adult males, strong immunostaining was observed in the posterior region of the ventral nerve cord. DVB is the only stained neuronal cell body. Staining also observed in several non-neuronal secretory cells. Four cells in the vulva region (uv1 cells). The vas deferens of adult males, about 20 large circular structures, not surround nuclei, suggesting they were cytoplasmic structures, only observed in adult males. Faint staining in spermathecea of adult hermaphrodites.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
A set of three longitudinal nerves (I1L, NSML and M2L) running along the anterior/posterior axis within the pharynx, each lying within a narrow groove created between syncytial pairs of muscles. One nerve lies dorsally, in close apposition to the dorsal gland duct, while the other two nerves lie subventrally. pharyngeal nerve   WBbt:0005441
