General Information
Term circular muscle of uterus motor neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00053577 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Adult motor neuron that innervates the circular muscle of the uterus with type I glutamatergic terminals (Cury and Axel, 2023). It has its soma in the abdominal neuromere and fasciculates with the abdominal nerve trunk and abdominal nerve of the uterus (Middleton et al., 2006; Cury and Axel, 2023). Its activity can cause contraction of the uterus and egg expulsion (Cury and Axel, 2023). There is one of these cells on each side (Cury and Axel, 2023).[ FlyBase:FBrf0193596 FlyBase:FBrf0256706 ]
Also Known As "CMU motor neuron"
