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.
What is the function of the ampullae of lorenzini?
The ampullae of Lorenzini are specialized electroreceptor organs found in cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays. They function to detect weak electric fields produced by other organisms, helping these predators locate their prey even in dark or murky waters.
Can Sharks detect their prey without seeing or smelling it?
Yes, because they can use the ampullae of lorenzini. It helps the shark detect its preys magnetic feild.
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
What are the pores on the shark's snout for?
The pores on a shark's snout, known as ampullae of Lorenzini, are specialized electroreceptors that help sharks detect electrical fields of their prey. This sensory adaptation allows sharks to locate prey hidden in sand or murky waters by detecting their bioelectric fields.
What does the ampullae of lorenzini sense?
Electrical fields
What are the nerve receptors in a shark's snout called?
Ampullae of Lorenzini
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 do the ampullae of Lorenzini help a shark hunt?
it helps the shark by sending signals to its brain about what it smells
Does the ampullae belong to the middle ear?
As a dilated portion of a canal or duct, it is the semicircular canal of the ear
What is the function of the ampullae of lorenzini?
The ampullae of Lorenzini are specialized electroreceptor organs found in cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays. They function to detect weak electric fields produced by other organisms, helping these predators locate their prey even in dark or murky waters.
What are the things at the end of a sharks nose?
I belive your question refers to the «ampullae of Lorenzini».These ampullae of Lorenzini are sharks electroreceptor organs, and they are very efficient to detect and find prey, as well as a «biologic GPS device» sharks use for orientation, using the Earth magnetic fied.
What is the function of the transverse canal on a starfish?
They connect the radial canal to the ampullae in the water vascular system.
What are the lemon sharks techniques?
the lemon shark is a bottom feeder that uses its Ampullae of Lorenzo to pick up the electrical pulses given out by possible prey
What is the order of development of a fertilized egg in a pregnant woman womb?
The egg is released from the ovary into the ampullae of the fallopian tubes. In the tubes, the egg may be fertilized.
Can Sharks detect their prey without seeing or smelling it?
Yes, because they can use the ampullae of lorenzini. It helps the shark detect its preys magnetic feild.
What are some of the lemon sharks techniques?
the lemon shark is a bottom feeder that uses its Ampullae of Lorenzo to pick up the electrical pulses given out by possible prey
