Abstract

Hair cells are a peculiar type of mechanosensory cell found in the inner ear and lateral line system of vertebrates. After introducing vertebrate hair cells and their associated sensory neurons, this chapter will present a survey of mechanosensory cells in different invertebrate groups. Based on commonalities in the mechanisms of cell specification by transcription factors and some similarities in mechanotransduction, it is proposed that vertebrate hair cells and their associated sensory neurons may be derived from an evolutionarily ancient mechanosensory cell type, which also gave rise to mechanosensory cells in other metazoans.
