General Information
Term embryonic/larval wrapping glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00110171 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Glial cell that wraps individual axons within nerves of the embryonic/larval peripheral nervous system (Stork et al., 2008; Freeman et al., 2015; Kottmeier et al., 2020). It is found below the layers formed by perineurial and subperineurial glial cells around the nerves (Stork et al., 2008; Freeman, 2015; Kottmeier et al., 2020). These cells form long thin processes that collectively ensheath almost every peripheral axon in the late third instar larva (Stork et al., 2008). They are required for normal speed and precision of information transfer in the peripheral nervous system (Kottmeier et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0202685 FlyBase:FBrf0229998 FlyBase:FBrf0246657 ]
Also Known As "embryonic/larval wrapping glia"
