- Z3
Germ line precursor cell
- Z2
Germ line precursor cell
- Psub4
Embryonic founder cell of germ line
- gonadal sheath cell
five pairs of thin gonadal sheath cells form a single layer covering the germ line component of each arm, each pair occupying a stereotyped position along the gonad proximal-distal axis.
- posterior distal tip cell
Posterior distal tip cell, inhibit meiosis in neighbouring germ cells, lead gonad during morphogenesis, herm gonad
- anterior distal tip cell
Anterior distal tip cell, inhibit meiosis in neighbouring germ cells, lead gonad during morphogenesis, herm gonad
- germ line
cell line which early in development becomes differentiated from the remaining somatic cell line, and alone has the potential to undergo meiosis and form gametes.
