Like all nematodes, they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system. The four bands of muscles that run the length of the body are connected to a neural system that allows the muscles to move the animal's body only as dorsal bending or ventral bending, but not left or right, except for the head, where the four muscle quadrants are wired independently from one another. When a wave of dorsal/ventral muscle contractions proceeds from the back to the front of the animal, the animal is propelled backwards. When a wave of contractions is initiated at the front and proceeds posteriorly along the body, the animal is propelled forwards. Because of this dorsal/ventral bias in body bends, any normal living, moving individual tends to lie on either its left side or its right side when observed crossing a horizontal surface. A set of ridges on the lateral sides of the body cuticle, the alae, is believed to give the animal added traction during these bending motions. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Lateral (left) side anatomical diagram of an adult-stage hermaphrodite" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg/300px-Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="164" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg/450px-Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg/600px-Caenorhabditis_elegans_hermaphrodite_adult-en.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="792" data-file-height="434" /></a><figcaption>Lateral (left) side of an adult-stage hermaphrodite</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:C_elegans_tissues.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/C_elegans_tissues.svg/300px-C_elegans_tissues.svg.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/C_elegans_tissues.svg/450px-C_elegans_tissues.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/C_elegans_tissues.svg/600px-C_elegans_tissues.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="886" data-file-height="490" /></a><figcaption> Tissues of an adult <i>C.<span class="nowrap"> </span>elegans</i></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg/300px-C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg/450px-C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg/600px-C_elegans_cell_and_nucleus_sizes.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="886" data-file-height="488" /></a><figcaption> Size and morphology of different <i>C.<span class="nowrap"> </span>elegans</i> cells</figcaption></figure> <p>In relation to lipid metabolism, <i>C.<span class="nowrap"> </span>elegans</i> does not have any specialized adipose tissues, a <a href="/wiki/Pancreas" title="Pancreas">pancreas</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Liver" title="Liver">liver</a>, or even blood to deliver nutrients compared to mammals.

These gut granules are found in all of the Rhabditida orders. They are very similar to <a href="/wiki/Lysosomes" class="mw-redirect" title="Lysosomes">lysosomes</a> in that they feature an acidic interior and the capacity for <a href="/wiki/Endocytosis" title="Endocytosis">endocytosis</a>, but they are considerably larger, reinforcing the view of their being storage organelles. A particular feature of the granules is that when they are observed under <a href="/wiki/Ultraviolet_light" class="mw-redirect" title="Ultraviolet light">ultraviolet light</a>, they react by emitting an intense blue <a href="/wiki/Fluorescence" title="Fluorescence">fluorescence</a>. Another phenomenon seen is termed 'death fluorescence'. As the worms die, a dramatic burst of blue fluorescence is emitted. This death fluorescence typically takes place in an anterior to posterior wave that moves along the intestine, and is seen in both young and old worms, whether subjected to lethal injury or peacefully dying of old age. </p><p>Many theories have been posited on the functions of the gut granules, with earlier ones being eliminated by later findings. They are thought to store zinc as one of their functions. Recent chemical analysis has identified the blue fluorescent material they contain as a <a href="/wiki/Glycosylated" class="mw-redirect" title="Glycosylated">glycosylated</a> form of <a href="/wiki/Anthranilic_acid" title="Anthranilic acid">anthranilic acid</a> (AA). The need for the large amounts of AA the many gut granules contain is questioned. One possibility is that the AA is antibacterial and used in defense against invading pathogens. Another possibility is that the granules provide photoprotection; the bursts of AA fluorescence entail the conversion of damaging UV light to relatively harmless visible light.
