General Information
Term proboscis muscle 2 ventral ID (Ontology) FBbt:00059087 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Muscle with its origin in the posterior wall of the head and an insertion site in the posterior cuticle of the rostrum, near the posterior end of the apodeme of the rostrum, similar to muscles 1 and 2 dorsal (McKellar et al., 2020). As the three of these contract, they pull the rostrum back into the head cavity (McKellar et al., 2020). This muscle also has an insertion site on the anterior arm of the apodeme of the rostrum-haustellum joint (McKellar et al., 2020). It is synapsed by the proboscis muscle 2 ventral motor neuron (McKellar et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0246028 ]
Also Known As "proboscis muscle 2-2" ; "proboscis muscle m2V"
