CONT

Une ampoule de Lorenzini est un organe sensoriel propre aux requins, raies et certaines chimères, groupés en poissons cartilagineux. Les ampoules de Lorenzini forment un réseau de canaux avec électro-récepteurs qui sont recouverts d'une substance gélatineuse. Elles permettent à ces espèces de détecter des variations électromagnétiques mais aussi des changements de températures.
