General Information
|
| Term |
photoreceptor cell of Bolwig organ |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00007253 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Photoreceptor cell that is part of a Bolwig's organ. Unlike the photoreceptors of the adult eye, eyelet and ocellus, these photoreceptors do not contain rhabdomeres, but instead have apical surfaces which are folded into numerous microtubule containing lamellae (Green et al., 1993). There are around 12 of these per hemisphere and their axons enter the brain ventrolaterally via the Bolwig nerve and terminate in the larval optic neuropil (Larderet et al., 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0064481 FlyBase:FBrf0237760 ] |
| Also Known As |
"larval photoreceptor neuron" ; "photoreceptor cell of Bolwig's organ" |
| Comment |
Because of their structure, these photoreceptors may be considered cilium-like (Green et al., 1993). |
