FBbt:00005219 (Fly Anatomy)

Definition

Cell that surrounds the distal tip of the scolopidial neuron dendrite. It secretes a cylindrical structure around the dendrite, known as a scolopale rod, that is juxtaposed to the apical, extracellular tube (or cap) also secreted by the scolopale cell.[ FlyBase:FBrf0056378 FlyBase:FBrf0098208 FlyBase:FBrf0239412 ]
