General Information
Term ventral channel glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00001296 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Surface-associated, channel glial cell that lies at the ventral-end of the channel above the neuropil. There are two of these cells per hemisegment and their processes form, along with processes from the dorsal channel glia, a sheath structure that covers the inner surface of the dorsoventral channel. It develops from neuroblast NB7-4 (Beckervordersandforth et al., 2008).[ FlyBase:FBrf0082171 FlyBase:FBrf0205499 FlyBase:FBrf0214261 ]
Also Known As"V-CG"
