¹Conductances and capacitances of ORN and sensillar lymph were calculated for sensillum trichodeum cell A (with thick dendrite and large action potentials) of Antheraea polyphemus in tip-recording conditions, i. e. with cut hair tip, based on morphological data [103],[104] and electrical data [33].

²Equilibrium potentials are given for the outer dendrite in contact with the sensillar lymph (outer) or for the inner dendrite in contact with the hemolymph (inner).

³Gives rise to the transepithelial potential.
