Expression Pattern :

Pattern  This multicomponent pattern expresses from late embryogenesis through to adulthood. Staining is first observed in the pharynx of 1.5-fold embryos. In 3-fold embryos, expression is seen in the pharyngo-intestinal valve and in the intestino-rectal valve, in addition to the pharyngeal staining. In adults, expression in the excretory cell is also apparent, with the anterior canals staining and about 1/4 of the posterior canals staining. The pharyngeal staining is strong in larvae but generally weaker in adults. The pharyngo-intestinal valve shows expression throughout the animals life. Around mid-larval stage the intestino-rectal valve expression becomes fainter until it is rarely seen in adults. Primary Identifier  Expr131
Remark  Other strains-- UL441, UL452 late embryo(author) = elongating embryo(curator).

A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine. pharyngeal-intestinal valve cardia WBbt:0005767
Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom. excretory canal canal WBbt:0005775
