a lateral line is used for collecting electromagnetic pulses in the water. it stretches from the sharks head to tail, and is filled with water. there are also tiny hairs growing inside the lateral line. these hairs pick up vibrations sent from the electromagnetic pulses. this is one way sharks find food.

a sensory organ
The lateral line of a shark is a series of small sensory pores that run along each side of the fish, typically from head to tail. These pores allow sharks to detect changes in water pressure and vibrations in their surroundings, helping them locate prey and navigate their environment.
The lateral lines on sharks detect movement in the water. This sense helps sharks find their prey. Sharks often attack because of this sense thus making us misidentified.
The lateral line belongs to the lateral line system. This helps to stream line fish in water and to keep them afloat.
Its strucural adaptation is its hammer on its head to attack its predator
No. They are not used for defense.
its just called the lateral line
Lateral line system means an aquatic organs sense system found in fish
it has metal in its head so it acts like a magnet and leads shark to its prey
The lateral line sensory organ is the sensory pits fish use to sense movements in the water. The shark are very adapt at using these structures.
They do not have a lateral line but at least some have a lateral line analogue, the epidermal head lines, that are compromised of mechanosensory hair cells and detect water displacement (Budelmann & Bleckmann 1988, J Comp Physiol A)
