What else can I help you with?
Clustered in their heads sharks have sense organs called the ampullae of Lorenzini What do they detect?
The ampullae of Lorenzini detect electrical fields generated by other animals, helping sharks locate prey and navigate in their environment.
How is the ampulle of lorenzini related to electricity?
Okay now, the ampullae of Lorenzini sensing organs located generally on the nose/snout of ocean dwellers. Most commonly found on Sharks, rays and some sturgen and reedfish.They were described by Stefano Lorenzini in 1678. You would be able to identify The ampullae of Lorenzini as little pores or holes located around the nose, snout, or mouth of the sharks, ray, or stugen.The purpose of the ampullae of Lorenzini is to sense either the weak bioelectric fields emanating from other animals, or to actively send out electric fields to locate other animals. (This would be similar to bats using sound waves--sonar--to locate food and navigate its world)
What are the electromagnetic sensors on a sharks nose called?
they are called: Ampullae of Lorenzini. These clusters of sensors are connected to small jelly like tubes through pores on the skin. Jeff Shaw Oceanic Defense http://www.facebook.com/OceanicDefense
Can sharks sense electromagnetic fields to help find food underwater?
Yes, sharks can sense electromagnetic fields using special organs called ampullae of Lorenzini. These organs help sharks detect the electrical signals given off by other animals, such as prey, even in dark or murky waters. By sensing these fields, sharks can locate and track their prey more efficiently.
How does a stingray use electricity?
A stingray uses electricity to detect prey and navigate its environment. They have specialized electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini that can sense the electric fields produced by other animals, allowing the stingray to locate hidden prey or potential predators.
What is the meaning of Lorenzini?
Lorenzini is an Italian family name. Many Italians with that name have developed programs and processes that carry their name. One biologist who discovered a sensing mechanism in animals has named them the ampules of Lorenzini.However, in the sewing category, I would suspect it refers to the famous Lorenzini shirt line. This is a shirt product that is made in the Lorenzini factory and has a reputation of being one of the finest shirts on the market.To say "I have a Lorenzini" is to say "I have a very high quality shirt"
What is minute electric field?
Sharks have evolved the greatest sensitivity to electricity of any animal. Tiny pores around the snout called the ampullae of lorenzini detect minute electrical fieldsproduced by other animals in the water.Amit sharma GJU Hissar
What animals can be compared to human personalities?
Most four legged animals
Why plants lesser energy requirement compared with animals?
Plants have lesser systems compared to animals. Therefore, energy "divisors" are lesser.
Why do humans have little body hair when compared to other animals?
Why do humans have little body hair compared to other animals
Do rabbits have a good memory compared to other animals?
Rabbits have a good memory compared to other animals, as they can remember locations, routines, and even recognize their owners.
What animals was Richard III compared to in Shakespeare's play?
Richard's badge was of a boar, so he is compared to this animal.
