General Information
Term tergopleural muscle cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00003386 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Any muscle cell (FBbt:00005074) that is part of some tergopleural muscle (FBbt:00058907).
Also Known As "m.an. cell" ; "m.anonymous cell" ; "muscle cell of 3rd & 4th basalar muscle" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
Comment Has been classified as an indirect flight muscle (Dickinson and Tu, 1997), although authors say this is arbitrary - it does not connect to a wing sclerite, but does insert within the wing hinge. Classified as a tension muscle by Wisser and Nachtigall (1984). Trimarchi and Schneiderman (1994) state that this is a single muscle bundle in D. melanogaster, but dorsal and ventral parts are referred to as tergopleural 1 and 2, respectively by O'Sullivan et al. (2018).
