A, anterior lines; P, midbody posterior line; D, dorsal line; 1, last two neuromasts of the posterior midbody line; 2, second neuromast of the posterior midbody line; 3, neuromast located dorso anterior to the ear vesicle; 4, last (anteriormost) neuromast of the supra orbital line. Neuromasts 1 and 2 are innervated by the posterior lateral line ganglion and neuromasts 3 and 4 are innervated by the anterior lateral line ganglion.
