Talk:Kinocilia

On 18 Feb 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. See Votes for deletion/Kinocilia for a record of the discussion. Several concerns were raised about this article. While there do appear to be organs by this name, the available evidence seems to indicate that they are the "hairs in your inner ear that tell your brain about which way your head is accelerating". Will someone with deep content knowledge edit this page? When you do so, please remember to cite your sources in a comment on this Talk page. Thank you. Rossami (talk) 06:40, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Fish have an organ called a lateral line sensor -- a long, thin sensory organ located on the side of the fish, consisting of a hollow, hole riddled tube corresponding with the seawater. Inside are millions cells equipped with tiny, flexible hairs, namely cilia, that can send information back to the fish's brain about current force and velocity in an underwater flow field. Insofar, the information in the article is accurate, but probably inappropriate for the lemma. Hereunder I would expect the structure of the axoneme. --Dr. strangelove 11:48, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
