软骨鱼类气孔器是与第一内脏袋相关的特殊受体。气门器感觉上皮的结构和支配它的传入神经元的中枢终止模式表明，气门器是与感觉器官侧线系统密切相关的机械感受器。它在气孔裂内的位置和方向表明它在本体感觉或平衡听觉中发挥作用。
The elasmobranch spiracular organ is a specialized receptor associated with the 1st visceral pouch. The structure of the sensory epithelium of the spiracular organ and the pattern of central termination of the afferent neurons that innervate it show that the spiracular organ is a mechanoreceptor closely related to the lateral line system of sense organs. Its position and orientation within the spiracular cleft suggests that it plays a role in proprioception or equilibrium-audition.
