General Information
Term geno-tentorial muscle 19b ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058811 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A temporary eclosion muscle that connects the postgena to the anterior portion of the gena. It arises from the same tendons as the ptilino-tentorial muscles. It is inserted over a wide dorsoventral area on each gena between the compound eyes and the frontal suture. Contraction of these muscles results in the shape of the head being returned to normal, as hemolymph is withdrawn into the abdomen. As with other temporary eclosion muscles, it has almost disappeared by 24h after adult emergence.[ FlyBase:FBrf0007310 FlyBase:FBrf0186027 ]
Also Known As "geno-tentorial muscle"
