Natalid Organ

	Natalid Organ Natalid organs, composed of cells closely resembling sensory cells, are on the heads of all adult male bats of the ''Natalidae The family Natalidae, or funnel-eared bats, are found from Mexico to Brazil and the Caribbean islands. The family has three genera, '' Chilonatalus'', '' Natalus'' and '' Nyctiellus''. They are slender bats with unusually long tails and, as th ...'' family. The organs show some evidence of glandular function. The first to investigate this organ was Gerrit Miller, who referred to it as a "large, glandular swelling between and in front of the eyes."

picture info	Sensory Cells Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are neurons in the nervous system, that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials. This process is called sensory transduction. The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are located in the dorsal ganglia of the spinal cord. The sensory information travels on the afferent nerve fibers in a sensory nerve, to the brain via the spinal cord. The stimulus can come from ''exteroreceptors'' outside the body, for example those that detect light and sound, or from ''interoreceptors'' inside the body, for example those that are responsive to blood pressure or the sense of body position. Types and function Different types of sensory neurons have different sensory receptors that respond to different kinds of stimuli. There are at least six external and two internal sensory receptors: External receptors External receptors that respond to stimuli from outside the body are called ex ...

	Natalidae The family Natalidae, or funnel-eared bats, are found from Mexico to Brazil and the Caribbean islands. The family has three genera, '' Chilonatalus'', '' Natalus'' and '' Nyctiellus''. They are slender bats with unusually long tails and, as their name suggests, funnel-shaped ears. They are small, at only in length, with brown, grey, or reddish fur. Like many other bats, they are insectivorous, and roost in caves. Classification Family Natalidae contains the following 10 species in 3 genera: Genus '' Chilonatalus'' * Cuban funnel-eared bat, ''Chilonatalus micropus'' ** Bahaman funnel-eared bat, ''Chilonatalus tumidifrons'' Genus '' Natalus'' * Brazilian funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus macrourus'' Jamaican greater funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus jamaicensis'' Hispaniolan greater funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus major'' Mexican greater funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus mexicanus'' Cuban greater funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus primus'' Mexican funnel-eared bat, ''Natalus stramineus ...

	Journal Of Mammalogy The ''Journal of Mammalogy'' is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the American Society of Mammalogists. Both the society and the journal were established in 1919. The journal covers research on mammals throughout the world, including their ecology, genetics, conservation, behavior, systematics, morphology, and physiology. The journal also publishes news about the society and advertises student scholarship opportunities.
