short labellar taste bristle
ID: FBbt_00007413
Shortest of the three main labellar taste bristle types, it is around 15 micrometres long and is curved in a medial direction (Shanbhag et al., 2001. These taste bristles contain the sensory dendrites of 4 gustatory receptor neurons (Shanbhag et al., 2001, which can be sensitive to sugars, bitter stimuli, salt, or water (Meunier et al., 2003; Fujishiro et al., 1984, and one mechanosensory neuron (Shanbhag et al., 2001. (Fujishiro et al., 1984, Meunier et al., 2003, Shanbhag et al., 2001, Hiroi et al., 2002)
Shanbhag et al., 2001 claim 10-13 bristles are present, whilst Hiroi et al., 2002 claim 12-13. Number, position and identity (short v intermediate) of individual sensilla seems to vary between animals (Shanbhag et al., 2001; Hiroi et al., 2002; Weiss et al., 2011; Jaeger et al., 2018).
