  • Title: Gill receptor arrays in the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus).
    Author: Griffin AJ, Fahrenbach WH.
    Journal: Tissue Cell; 1977; 9(4):745-50. PubMed ID: 610009.
    Abstract:
    The branchial warts on the endopodites of the gills are covered with goblet-shaped cuticular appendages, whose internal structure shows them to be chemoreceptors. The innervated goblets have a cuticular tubule that connects an external pore through their hollow interior with the epidermal sensillum. Associated sensory neurons give rise to small axons that pass through a synaptic plexus below the epidermis. The sense organs seem specialized for sampling the exhalent water current.
