chemosensory dorsal double row bristle

ID: FBbt_00100191

Multiply innervated, recurved chemosensory bristle of the dorsal row of double row wing sensilla (Hartenstein and Posakony, 1989. (Hartenstein and Posakony, 1989, Palka et al., 1979)

Palka et al., 1979 show that of the five dendrites innervating the wing margin chemosensory bristles, one contains a microtubular body, suggesting it to be a mechanosensory neuron. That this bristle is chemosensory in nature is based on the presence of the terminal pore and multiple innervation with dendrites extending to the pore (Palka et al., 1979.
