General Information
Term adult ptilinal muscle ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058806 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Muscle of the adult that is associated with the ptilinum (Atkins, 1949). Most of these are temporary eclosion muscles that degenerate within a few days of eclosion (Atkins, 1949).[ FlyBase:FBrf0007310 ]
Also Known As "muscle of the ptilinum" ; "skeletal muscle of dorsal head" ; "somatic muscle of dorsal head"
