1.1 Background
Receptors are neurons or cells which are a specialized epithelium, that composed
of the cells themselves or in a group with other types of cells in an organ, such as
sensory organs (eyes and ears). Receptors detect changes in some internal variable
environment of animals in each homeostasis control. Heteroreceptor detects stimuli
from outside the body, such as pressure, heat, light and chemicals. Interreceptor
detecting a stimulus from within the body, such as blood pressure and body position.
Receptor cells convert the energy of the stimulus to be a change in membrane
potential and then deliver the signal to the nervous system (Ville et al., 1988).
Vertebrates have a sensory system that is more developed than invertebrates.
Senses which are generally known in the organism, there are five sense namely sight,
hearing, touch, smell and taste. Broadly speaking, the ability of the senses are
divided into three types: mechanoreseptor, photoreceptors, and chemoreseptor
(Radiopoetro, 1977).
chemoreceptor is a sense which is stimulated by various chemical ions or
molecules in the form of gas or liquid. Chemoreceptor includes the sense of smell,
sense of taste and also receptors that monitor the concentration of oxygen and carbon
dioxide (Gordon, 1982). Chemoreceptor on lobster found on his antennule section.
The most important function of antennule is detecting the presence or the absence of
food or to respond the feed which has a distinctive aroma. Antennule of Crustaceans
has a function to search for food, such as capturing a chemical stimulus and the sense
of smell. Antennular also serve to recognize the opposite sex, avoidance of an attack
or disruption caused by other organisms (predators) and maintaining its territorial
areas (Storer, 1957).
Lobster (Cherax quadricarinatus) is used as an object of observation to
determine the function chemoreceptor and it is an invertebrate which is included in
the phylum Arthropoda, and Crustacea class, easily found in Indonesian waters.
Chemoreceptor is the senses stimulated by various chemical ions or molecules in the
form of a gas or liquid. Chemoreceptor includes the sense of smell, sense of taste and
also receptors that regulate the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. (Ville et
al.,1988).
