Sentence examples for electrical organ from inspiring English sources

There is no electrical organ in the notopterids, however; the rigid body of these fishes may be correlated with the long gas-filled swim bladder that extends into the tail end of the body.

The electrical organ of this species, also derived from muscle tissue, consists of a specialized gelatinous coat of tissue that sheathes most of the body just under the skin.

Conclusion: Impedance analysis reveals evident physiologic relation of acute liver graft rejection and electrical organ properties.

Your heart, being an electrical organ, also creates an electromagnetic field -- the strongest of any tissue in the body -- and its pattern of beats is responsive to other electromagnetic fields, even those outside the body.

Mormyridae and Gymnarchidae are of particular interest because they have electrical organs.
