myotube [FBbt_00005812]
Multinucleated muscle cell formed by several fusion events between fusion competent myoblasts and one founder cell. The size of a myotube is correlated to the number of fusion competent cells that fuse with a founder cell or developing myotube. In contrast to vertebrates, in Drosophila embryos and larva, each muscle is a single myotube (Maqbool and Jagla, 2007).
