General Information
Term epithelial glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00005721 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Cuboidal glial cell found in the visual system of larvae and adults, located more distal than the row of marginal glial cells. These glial cells contact marginal glia at their base (proximal) and satellite glia at their apex (distal), and constitute the only class of cells with nuclei in the neuropil proper, in the distal lamina.[ FlyBase:FBrf0055906 FlyBase:FBrf0134808 FlyBase:FBrf0214261 ]
