General Information
Term retrocerebral complex ID (Ontology) FBbt:00001718 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition The endocrine complex which consists of the corpus cardiacum and corpus allatum (Hartenstein, 2006; Lee et al., 2008).[ FlyBase:FBrf0194938 FlyBase:FBrf0204201 FlyBase:FBrf0239029 ]
Also Known As "CC-CA" ; "retrocerebral neuroendocrine complex"
Comment This is the common part of the adult (CA, CC, HG) and larval (CA, CC, PG) ring glands, but terminology seems to be very rarely used for the larva - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
