General Information
Term embryonic/larval wrapping glial cell of the eye disc ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100521 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Glial cell found among photoreceptor cell axons in the eye disc that wraps these axons as they extend to the optic stalk (Hummel et al., 2002; Edwards and Meinertzhagen, 2010). The wrapping glial cells are, in turn, surrounded and wrapped by surface glial cells (Hummel et al., 2002). These cells develop from precursors that migrate from the optic stalk into the eye disc and differentiate upon coming into contact with photoreceptor axons (Choi and Benzer, 1994; Hummel et al., 2002; Silies et al., 2007; Edwards and Meinertzhagen, 2010). Wrapping glial cells (of the eye disc) are associated with Bolwig's nerve, but do not wrap it (Silies et al., 2007).[ FlyBase:FBrf0068448 FlyBase:FBrf0145174 FlyBase:FBrf0201162 FlyBase:FBrf0210316 ]
