footpad hair cell [FBbt_00052778]
Epidermal cell that produces a seta (hair) of the pulvillus (footpad) (Kimura et al., 2020). In the early pupa (around 20h APF), these cells are found in the ventral pretarsus (Kimura et al., 2020). Each cell extrudes a single process outwards, then its cell body migrates proximally, leaving the tip in position (Kimura et al., 2020). By 40h APF, these cells have completed the framework for the pulvillus and begin to deposit cuticle (Kimura et al., 2020).
