| Term |
larval VNC cell body glial cell |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00049605 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Glial cell located amongst neuronal cell bodies in the cortex of the embryonic/larval ventral nerve cord (VNC). In the early larva, there are around 4 cell body glia per hemineuromere (Ito et al., 1995), but they increase in number during later larval stages, particularly in thoracic and anterior abdominal segments (Coutinho-Budd et al., 2017). The nuclei and cell bodies of the VNC cell body glial cells have quite irregular shapes, and cytoplasmic protrusions fill the space between neighboring neuronal cell bodies (Ito et al., 1995), with no morphological stereotypy by VNC region (Coutinho-Budd et al., 2017). These cells are not found in the dorsal portion of the cell body rind, with neuronal somas instead being wrapped by ensheathing glia (Pogodalla et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0082171 FlyBase:FBrf0237238 FlyBase:FBrf0251788 ] |
