Week 9: Sensory Systems mechanical
2
external stimulus behavior mechanosensory systems environmental link highly selective
3
external stimulus (filtered) energy transduction electric signal sensory neuron
4
electrical current inside the neuron membrane potential, V m = outside (0 mV) to inside (– mV) = electrical difference = resistance VmVm stimulus
5
electrochemical component across the membrane stimulus resting (-) up-spike (++) down-spike (- -) reset (-)
6
= Electrical Auditory = Gustatory smell sightelectric movement hearing taste visual chemical mechanical electrical
7
mechanosensory organs lateral line inner ear
8
cilia ~ gelatin, mucous mechanoreceptor cells with cilia =neuromasts =hair cells

25
Antimora sp. flat nose cod Moridae, Gadiformes 3 otolithic organs
26
blue gourami 3 otolithic organs utriculus lagena sacculus
27
otolith otolithic organs mineralized deposit denser ~2 nd data point sacculus contains sagitta
28
Cb = cilia bundle OM = otolithic membrane
29
lagena sacculus utriculus DORSAL (pars superior) balance ~ equilibrium ~ gravity
30
Ventral (pars inferior) sound utriculus lagena sacculus otolith (largest)
31
WaterAir 800 x density least (0°C) expands most (4°C) contracts solid, liquid, gas Absorbs more energy (light, radiation, heat) Holds more energy (light, radiation, heat) Dissolves more molecules (nutrients, toxins) Conducts more energy (sound, electricity) farther ~5 x faster (according to T, P, salinity) Aquatic Habitats
32
Sound fields: near far crenulated, nondivergent smooth, spherical… particle displacement pressure wave intensity (decibels, dB) vs. range (length) vibration compression volume/pressure
33
yxzyxz ventral otolithic organs detect near-field particle displacement
34
yxzyxz gas bladder detects far-field pressure wave
35
Sound fields: near far crenulated, nondivergent smooth, spherical… particle displacement pressure wave intensity (decibels, dB) vs. range (length) Detector: inner ear gas bladder
36
pikeperch carpherring gas bladders = acoustically transform far field pressure wave to near-field particle displacement
37
African knifefish (Osteoglossomorpha) gas bladder throughout body
38
Weberian ossicles gas bladder inner ear
39
xzyxzy acoustically transform far field pressure wave
40
vibrates in response to far-field pressure waves
41
no gas bladder no mineralization sand grains for near field dorsal tympanic membrane for far field ~near field: low frequency 10 to 600 Hz Chondrichthyes
42
Sound fields: near far particle displacement pressure wave Detector: inner ear gas bladder low frequency: long wavelength large near field~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))))) high frequency: short wavelength large far field ~~~~~~))))))))))))))))))))))))) Sound type:
43
goldfish (O) salmon (Pr) cod (Pa) damselfish (Ac) = Stegastes tuna (Ac) herring (100,000+) ~bottlenose dolphin low: larger near field high: larger far field favors inner ear favors gas bladder
