Antennal sensilla of Rhodnius

Journal of Morphology, 1994
AbstractBy scanning electron microscopy, sensilla type and distribution were studied on the antennae of ten species of Rhodnius. No sexual dimorphism was apparent. Intraspecific differences in sensillar pattern were shown to be potentially useful in species determination and to agree with results from biochemical studies and previous morphometric ...

Ultrastructure of the antennal sensilla of aphids

Cell and Tissue Research, 1980
An electron microscopical study of aphid antennal sensilla has revealed two types of trichoid sensilla. Type I, innervated by a single neuron is mechanoreceptive; type II, innervated by three to five neurons is both mechanoreceptive and chemoreceptive with possibly a third function.

Mechanotransduction in spider slit sensilla

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2004
Mechanoreception is a vital constituent of several sensory modalities and a wide range of internal regulatory processes, but fundamental mechanisms for neural detection of mechanical stimuli have been difficult to characterize because of the morphological properties of most mechanoreceptors and the nature of the stimulus itself.

Mechanosensitive and Olfactory Sensilla of Insects

1984
Insects are the most successful land dwellers among the invertebrates. They owe this achievement largely to their cuticle, which provides mechanical support and protects against water loss at the same time. This exoskeleton forms a barrier between the environment and the interior milieu, so that sense organs need unique adaptations to remain accessible

Recording from Fly Taste Sensilla

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2022
Gustatory systems sense chemicals upon contact and provide a model to investigate how these stimuli are encoded to inform various behavioral decisions including choice of foods, egg-laying sites, and mating partners. Multiple organs in the body house peripheral gustatory sensory neurons, the axons of which project to discrete regions in the ...

Recording from Fly Olfactory Sensilla

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2022
Olfactory systems detect and discriminate an enormous diversity of volatile environmental stimuli and provide important paradigms to investigate how sensory cues are represented in the brain. Key stimulus-coding events occur in peripheral olfactory sensory neurons, which typically express a single olfactory receptor—from a large repertoire encoded in ...

Chemosensory Sensilla in Crustaceans

2010
Crustaceans, like most other animals, have two types of chemosensory organs. In crustaceans these organs consist of sensilla that differ structurally as well as functionally. Unimodal olfactory sensilla are usually considered as more long-range and bimodal chemo- and mechanosensory sensilla as short-range or contact chemosensory sensilla.

Macromolecules in the receptor lymph of campaniform sensilla

Histochemistry, 1987
The receptor lymph of campaniform sensilla on the halteres of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina, was analyzed histochemically. Acid mucopolysaccharides were demonstrated by a test for iron-binding capacity (Hale-reaction). Further characterization by enzyme treatment showed that the receptor lymph contains hyaluronic acid and/or chondroitin sulfate ...
