Stimulation of Lateral-Line Sensory Cells

  • Conference paper
Hearing and Sound Communication in Fishes

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

The lateral line consists of sense organs that are distributed over the skin or found in subepidermal canals of lower vertebrates. These organs are sensitive to water currents and to low frequency vibrations of the water (Jierlof, Spoor, and De Vries 1952, Kuiper 1956, Harris and van Bergeijk 1962, Dijkgraaf 1963, Bauknight, Strelioff and Honrubia 1976, Kroese, Van der Zalm, and Van den Bercken 1978, Strelioff and Honrubia 1978). The sensory hair cells and the basic transduction mechanism in these organs are similar to those in the vertebrate inner ear organs. Due to the relative ease with which lateral line organs and their nerve can be accessed, they have been used for several studies on basic transduction mechanisms of hair cell systems (Harris, Frischkopf, and Flock 1970, Sand 1975, Sand, Ozawa, and Hagiwara 1975, Flock and Russell 1976, Strelioff and Honrubia 1978).
