- amphid neuron morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the neuronal cells of the amphid sensillum, from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- amphid physiology variant
Animals exhibit variations in any physical or chemical process required for an amphid to carry out its normal functions or activities or be able to perceive and respond to stimuli, compared to control animals.
- amphid phasmid neuron morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of the components of the neuronal cells of the amphid and phasmid sensilla from that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, these neurons are commonly assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- dauer amphid sensillum variant
Dauer stage animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of any specialized chemosensory organs located on the head, compared to that observed in control animals.
- amphid phasmid sensillum morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the quantity, structure or organization of any component of any specialized chemosensory organs located on the head or along the tail, compared to that observed in control animals.
- amphid channel axoneme morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the microtuble-based fibrillar core, axoneme, of the cilia of the neurons that project through the sensillum pore to the outside of the animal, compared to that observed in control animals.
- amphid channel cilia morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the dendritic projections of the amphid sensory neurons that traverse the sensillum pore to connect with the outside of the animal, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, amphid channel cilia morphology is frequently assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.
- amphid sheath cell development variant
Any variation in the progression of a sheath cell of the amphid sensillum over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell compared to control.
- amphid sheath cell morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the amphid sensillum cell that ensheathes the dendrite tips of channel neurons and wing cell dedritic processes, from that observed in control animals. Sheath cells in C.elegans have highly invaginated and vesiculated surfaces, which provide a specialized environment for the dendritic structures.
- amphid sheath cell physiology variant
Animals exhibit variations in any physical or chemical process required for a amphid sheath cell to carry out its normal functions or activities or be able to perceive and respond to stimuli, compared to control animals.
