dorsal fin ceratotrichial spine (elasmobranchs)	UBERON_4300101	[A small to large enameloid-covered, dentine-cored spine located on the anterior margins of one or both of the dorsal fins, found on bullhead sharks (Heterodontiformes), many dogfish sharks, fossil (but not living) batoids, chimaeroids, but lost entirely or buried in the fin bases of other shark-like fishes.

scent gland	UBERON_0011252	[Scent glands are exocrine glands found in most mammals. They produce semi-viscous secretions which contain pheromones and other semiochemical compounds.

Though it is not their primary function, the salivary glands may also function as scent glands in some animals.]

Eimer's organ	UBERON_0011255	[A sensory organ in which the epidermis is modified to form bulbous papillae.

They contain a Merkel cell-neurite complex in the epidermis and a lamellated corpuscle in the dermal connective tissue.]
Pacinian corpuscle	UBERON_0003719	[Any of the rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors found in subcutaneous tissue beneath both hairy and glabrous skin, and which normally contain an afferent nerve fiber surrounded by a capsule with multiple concentric layers.]

Its dorsal process attaches to the epiotic or epioccipital, the ventral process to the intercalar and the body articulates with the supracleithrum. The postotic sensory canal or lateral line runs within or lateral to bone.]
