Somatic germline cells are almost all born, but immature (may still be missing a few cells in ut1 and utse groups?). Uterus is not yet inflated, and utse membrane still intact between uterine lumen and vulval passageway. Vulva is partially open. Vulval muscles and uterine muscles present, but show rather sparse myofilaments yet. Did not identify the AC cell among the various utse cells. Vulval cuticle is irregular.
Germ cells are mostly not visible here; held back as immature spermatocytes inside gonad sheath, and no oocytes evident within the series.
