An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell. socket cell   WBbt:0005750
a structural (glial) cell which forms an specialized environment surrounding the sensory ending(s) of one or more neurons; sometimes accompanied by a more distal socket cell. In early development of the sensory nerves and of the nerve ring some sheath cells (cephalics and labials) may also provide a substrate for axon guidance neuronal sheath cell pocket cell WBbt:0005811
Interfacial (hypodermal) cells which connect the hypodermal epithelium of the lips to the pharyngeal epithelium, firmly binding the inner tissue (the pharynx) to the outer bodywall (the hypodermis). arcade cell   WBbt:0005793
cell that makes up epithelium in pharynx. pharyngeal epithelial cell pharyngeal epithelium WBbt:0005459
a type of pharyngeal cell that connects basement membrane to the apices of triangle-shaped pharyngeal lumen. marginal cell   WBbt:0003673
cell that forms the duct of the excretory system. excretory duct cell exc duct WBbt:0004540
These cells include: B, F, Y, U, K' and K. All rectal epithelial cells contain secretory membrane stacks along this region facing the lumenal cuticle and produce some portion of the cuticular lining of the rectum. These are interfacial cells that connect the alimentary system to the main body syncytium. rectal epithelial cell rectal epithelium WBbt:0008182

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
cell of epithelium, the layer of cells that cover the external surface of an organism as well as forming an inner lining between the tissues and organs of that organism and the external environment. In C. elegans epithelial cells include epithelium of the alimentary tract, intestinal cells, hypodermis, interfacial cells and somatic gonad cells. epithelial cell epithelium WBbt:0003672
