Type: Motor neuron, putative sensory neuron
In MoW: URA
Male Wiring Project: URADL, URADR, URAVL, URAVR
In Wormbase: URA, URADL, URADR, URAVL, URAVR
Lineage: AB plaaaaaaa, AB arpapaaaa,
AB plpaaapaa, AB prpaaapaa
Location: Head
Description: Dendritic processes of URA neurons terminate in the body cavity and may have sensory function. As motor neurons, URAs innervate muscles in the head via NMJs in the nerve ring. The dorsal URA neurons are sister cells of the dorsal CEM neurons
