- Introduction - Statistics on shark attack success etc.
- Nare (Nostril) Physiology - inlet/outlet, olfactory lamellae, can compare nostrils.
- Lateral Line - Vibration Sensors over whole body
- Ampullae of Lorenzini - Electromagnetic sensors on nose, semiconductor gel
- Hearing - Remnants of ear remain, used for balance & equilibrium, possible explanation for heightened senses.
- Sight - depth perception.
- Pit Organs - Detect temperature change.
- Conclusion.

Plan-First Draft
First draft of essay plan:
Start of a long road...
So first things first. I plan on doing a project on the Sensory Organs of the Great White Shark.
First draft of title:
"How have the evolutionary adaptations of the Great White Shark's sensory organs aided it in becoming one of the world's most successful predators?"
Planning on focusing on 3 main areas:
1.Nostril Physiology
2.The Lateral Line
3.Ampullae of Lorenzini
Will touch briefly on its lack of hearing.
