C lineage cell
A cell that is the C blast cell or is a lineal descendant of C.
Y cell
Rectal cell at hatching, becomes PDA in hermaphrodite, postembryonic blast cell in male
SPC
Neuron class of two male-specific spicule neuron type C.
PCC
Neuron class of two male-specific post cloacal sensilla neuron type C.
excretory cell
H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans.
PHDR
The right PHD neuron of the pair of bilateral PHD neurons in a male C. elegans animal.
PHDL
The left PHD neuron of the pair of bilateral PHD neurons in a male C. elegans animal.
vulC
adult vulval toroid cell, C, formed by fusion of precursors of lineage names P5.ppal, P5.ppar, P7.papl and P7.papr.
PHD
A neuron belonging to a class of 2 bilateral, cholinergic, peptidergic, male-specific, ciliated neurons generated by transdifferentiation from a male PHso1 glial cell in the late L4 larval stage of a male C. elegans animal.
coelomocyte
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.
epithelial cell
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.
