General Information
Term adult distal medulla ensheathing glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00049499 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Ensheathing glial cell of the distal adult medulla. These cells are organized as highly columnar structures and show a characteristic branching pattern in M3 and M6, where photoreceptors R8 and R7 terminate, and in M7, the serpentine layer (Kremer et al., 2017). They form a dense sheath (Kremer et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0234767 ]
Also Known As "adult distal medulla EGN" ; "adult medulla distal neuropil ensheathing glial cell"
