peritracheal cell [FBbt_00006016]
Cell associated with the trachea, found in segmentally-repeated positions. In the embryo and larva, these are associated with branchpoints of the main trachea, in stereotypical positions (Hartenstein and Jan, 1992; O’Brien and Taghert, 1998; Laneve et al., 2013), whereas adult distribution is more varied (O’Brien and Taghert, 1998). Some of these express peptide(s) that appear to be released during larval ecdysis or adult eclosion. There may also be non-peptidergic (PMa) peritracheal cells associated with the peptidergic (PM) cells.
