A sensillum (plural sensilla) is an arthropod sensory organ protruding from the cuticle of exoskeleton, or sometimes lying within or beneath it. Sensilla appear as small hairs or pegs over an individual's body. Inside each sensillum there are two to four sensory neurons. These neurons, or receptors, gather information about environment the arthropod is in: Chemoreceptors (i.e. trichoid, basionic, coeloconic, placodea) Mechanoreceptors (e.g.: bristle sensilla, campaniform sensilla, hair plates, chordotonal neurons) Thermoreceptors HygroreceptorsMost sensilla are specially shaped according to the type of information they are gathering. In spiders, slit sensilla are used to detect substrate vibrations, while trichobothria are used to detect air-borne vibrations.
