Term alae of collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix ID (Ontology) GO:0060111 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Raised, thickened cuticular ridges that run longitudinally, and in parallel, along the left and right sides of the animal. The alae lie above the hypodermal cells known as the lateral seam cells.
