WBPhenotype:0000634
|
pharyngeal pumping variant
|
Any variation in the contraction and relaxation movements of the pharyngeal muscle that mediate feeding in nematodes compared to control. |
WBPhenotype:0000650
|
defecation variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the processes involved in eliminating gut contents compared to control animals. In C. elegans the sequence of events during defecation includes posterior body contraction (pBoc), relaxation, anterior body contraction (aBoc), expulsion of gut contents by enteric muscle contraction (Emc) and opening of anus (Exp), and intercycle period (Wormatlas). |
WBPhenotype:0000706
|
gut granule biogenesis reduced
|
Animals lack birefringent containing compartments in embryonic intestinal cells; however, these compartments appear in adult stages. |
