|---|---|---|---|
| An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell. | socket cell | WBbt:0005750 | |
| Epidermal layer. | hypodermis | epidermis | WBbt:0005733 |
| a structural (glial) cell which forms an specialized environment surrounding the sensory ending(s) of one or more neurons; sometimes accompanied by a more distal socket cell. In early development of the sensory nerves and of the nerve ring some sheath cells (cephalics and labials) may also provide a substrate for axon guidance | neuronal sheath cell | pocket cell | WBbt:0005811 |
| organ producing either sperm or ova. | gonad | WBbt:0005175 | |
| toroidal epithelial cell that make up the bulk of the uterus, four cells anterior and four cells posterior to the vulva. | uterine toroidal epithelial cell | ut cell | WBbt:0006784 |
