pupal cerebral tracheal branch [FBbt_00002966]

pupal cerebral tracheal branch

ID: FBbt_00002966

A pupal specific tracheal branch that arises from the cerebropharyngeal branch, lateral to the cerebral anastomosis and anterior to the pharyngeal branch. It tracheates the developing eyes and brain.

Figure 23 of Manning and Krasnow (1993) establishes a correspondence between their nomenclature and the one used by Whitten (1957) - FBrf0011558 in figure 2. To note, however, that the larval cerebral branch (FBbt:00000395) corresponds to the dorsal cervical posterior branch (as in table 1 of Manning and Krasnow (1993)), not to the anterior one.
