Nervous system Sense organ
Sensillum which is embedded in the body wall and has a specific cuticular structure involved in the transduction of some sensory signal as a part.
This is a parent term for the mechanosensory bristles referred to as external sensilla (es) in some references e.g. Tsubouchi et al., 2017 (FBrf0237124), but also includes other modalities.
