- Abstract:
- The femoral chordotonal organ (FCO) in Chrysoperla carnea is situated in the distal part of the femur and consists of two scoloparia, which are fused at their distal end. The distal scoloparium contains 17-20 scolopidia, and the proximal one six scolopidia, Each scolopidium consists of two sensory cells and three types of enveloping cells (glial, scolopale and attachment cell). The sensory cells of different scolopidia do not lie at the same level in the FCO, Therefore the attachment cells of different scolopidia have different lengths. In the FCO, three types of ciliary roots are found in different sensory cells. The dendrite of the sensory cell terminates in a distal process, which has the structure of a modified cilium (9x2+0), The very distal part of the cilium is surrounded by an extracellular electron dense material, the cap, and ends in a terminal dilation. The scolopale cell contains the electron dense scolopale rods, consisting of plentiful microtubules, In their middle third the scolopale rods are fused and form the scolopale, In the FCO septate junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes are found.
