General Information
Term anterior pharyngeal organ ID (Ontology) FBbt:00002687 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Sensillum of the lateral part of the embryonic/larval dorsal pouch (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). It contains a single neuron (first seen at embryonic stage 15) that is located dorsal to Bolwig's nerve (at stages 16-17) and fasciculates with the lateropharyngeal nerve (SN-V).[ FlyBase:FBrf0075072 FlyBase:FBrf0089570 ]
Also Known As "apo"
Comment Schmidt-Ott et al. (1994) tentatively assign this to the mandibular segment on the basis of its fasciculation pattern. This evidence is much weaker than the genetic evidence they use to determine the segmental identity of other head sensilla.
