Model of the mechanical signaling pathway in the fly campaniform mechanoreceptor. (Left) A schematic of seven linked structures in the mechanoreceptive organelle of fly campaniform receptors (6). The MT and EDMs together are termed the MT-based cytoskeleton. (Right) The transduction channels are activated by the compressive force conveyed by the MTs via the MMCs. External forces are indicated by the gray arrows.
