    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullae_of_Lorenzini

    Ampullae of Lorenzini are physically associated with and evolved from the mechanosensory lateral line organs of early vertebrates.Passive electroreception using ampullae is an ancestral trait in the vertebrates, meaning that it was present in their last common ancestor. [7]

  3. Lateral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_line

    The lateral line, also called the lateral line organ (LLO), is a system of sensory organs found in fish, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water. The sensory ability is achieved via modified epithelial cells , known as hair cells , which respond to displacement caused by motion and transduce these ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_systems_in_fish

    The lateral line in fish and aquatic forms of amphibians is a detection system of water currents, consisting mostly of vortices. The lateral line is also sensitive to low-frequency vibrations. It is used primarily for navigation, hunting, and schooling. The mechanoreceptors are hair cells, the same mechanoreceptors for vestibular sense and hearing.

  8. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    A lateral line system allows it to detect vibrations and pressure changes in water, helping the fish to respond appropriately to external events. [3] Well developed fins are used for maintaining balance, braking and changing direction. The pectoral fins act as pivots around which the fish can turn rapidly and steer itself.
