| an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization. | spermatheca | WBbt:0005319 | |
| somatic cell that situates at the tip of a gonad arm. | distal tip cell | DTC | WBbt:0006865 |
| cell line which early in development becomes differentiated from the remaining somatic cell line, and alone has the potential to undergo meiosis and form gametes. | germ line | germline | WBbt:0005784 |
| The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus. | somatic gonad | somatic germline | WBbt:0005785 |
