The biomechanics of sensory organs
Synopsis Studies of mechanosensory systems have largely focused on the filter characteristics of their neural components in relation to their ultimate function. Less attention has focused on the role of the physical structure of the sensory organ which also acts as a mechanical filter of the sensory input. This biomechanical filtering is readily apparent in the case of several mechanosensory sy...
متن کاملPalisade endings: cholinergic sensory organs or effector organs?
PURPOSE This study aims to complement the authors' prior findings on palisade endings in extraocular muscles (EOMs) of monkeys, and to clarify whether palisade endings are cholinergic motor or cholinergic sensory. METHODS Macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis, n = 10) of both sexes were analyzed using three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and conven...
متن کاملDrosophila development: A prepattern for sensory organs
The bristles and wing veins of Drosophila are ideal for studying the generation of spatial patterns. Sensory bristles occupy stereotyped positions of importance to the animal, as the neuronal specificity of bristles depends upon the site in the epithelium at which they are born. The thoracic bristle pattern has been conserved throughout the 2000 or more species of this genus and is well over 50...
متن کاملSingle cell analysis of the inner ear sensory organs
The inner ear is composed of a complex mixture of cells, which together allow organisms to hear and maintain balance. The cells in the inner ear, which undergo an extraordinary process of development, have only recently begun to be studied on an individual level. As it has recently become clear that individual cells, previously considered to be of uniform character, may differ dramatically from...
متن کاملChapter 19 Integumentary Sensory Organs in Crocodilians
Crocodilians, which include alligators and crocodiles, have a tough exterior with scales covering their dorsal and ventral surfaces. Living on earth before the dinosaurs, these reptilians have evolved a structure that has helped them adapt to the changing environment of earth. This structure is called an integumentary sensory organ (ISO). Integumentary is a term, which refers to the skin surfac...
