Drawing of the major elements of a JO scolopidium. Two, or in some cases, three neurons (n) are present, with a ciliary rootlet (cr) culminating in a basal body (bb) in the inner dendritic segment. From the basal body, the axoneme of the long cilium (c) is assembled, including the elaborate ciliary dilation (cd). Apically, the cilium attaches to the dendritic cap (dc), which allows connectivity to the vibrating cuticle. Around the cilium is a spindle-shaped cage of scolopale rods (sr), which are assembled by the scolopale cell (not shown) and which enclose the scolopale space (ss) containing a specialized receptor lymph. The known or putative locations of gene products or gene action are indicated by the gene symbols in boxes.
