These cells are flat, polygonal and tightly associated with one another in single-layer sheets (Nelliot et al., 2006). They accumulate nutrient reserves to act as a reservoir to support the animal through the non-feeding period of development (Aguila et al., 2007). There are approximately 2200 of these cells (Butterworth et al., 1988). FBbt:00049952 fly_anatomy.ontology
