Function |
| Chemoreception |
Paired nares opening into blind-ended olfactory sacs |
Cranial and ventral to the eyes |
Olfactory/smell |
| Lateral line system |
Bundles of sensory cells and canals |
Within the skin, mostly along the head and extend over the
sides of the body and onto the tail. Appears as a light, thin stripe
extending above the lateral most side of the trunk. |
Sensing of vibrations and movements in the water. Serve in
magnetic field detection as well |
| Electroreception |
Pores filled with thick fluid |
Dorsal and lateral sides of the head
Openings into the ampullae of Lorenzini
Organ that arises from the lateral line system |
Detect electric field produced by muscles for example |
