- canal lumen morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of the internal space of the excretory canal compared to control animals.
- excretory canal short
The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is reduced in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).
- excretory canals long
The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is increased in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).
- excretory cell development variant
Variations in the progression of a protokidney cell with an internal lumen that is suggested to collect and secrete salt solutions outward via the excretory sinus, over time from an initial condition to a later condition compared to control animals.
- gut obstructed
Any variation in the developmental progression of the intestine that leads to a blockage in the alimentary canal.
- excretory duct cell development variant
Variations in the progression of an interfacial epithelial cell which forms a lumen to receive the outflow of the excretory gland and excretory canal cells, over time from an initial condition to a later condition compared to control animals.
- proctodeum morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure and organization of the chamber in the male tail that extends from the termination of four canals (vas deferens, gut, and left and right spicule channels) to just before the cloaca, from that observed in control animals.
- excretory secretory system morphology variant
Variations in the form, structure or composition of related tissues that allow the animal to secrete saline fluid and maintain a proper salt balance compared to control. In C. elegans, four cell types (1 pore cell, 1 duct cell, 1 canal cell and a fused pair of gland cells) make up the excretory system (Wormatlas).
