The special cells that control color on cephalopods (like the Woods Hole squid in this video) are called "chromatophores." The chromatophores of cephalopods are neuromuscular organs rather than cells and are not controlled hormonally, which is how many other animals change color. | Marine Biological Laboratory

Chromatophores, captured in this 2024 honorable mention, are cells found in cephalopods such as squid, octopus, cuttlefish, or nautilus. They are responsible for adjusting the body's coloration to its surroundings, depending upon the situation. https://bit.ly/3XSKFp4 Spontaneous activity of pigment-filled chromatophores in the skin of the dwarf cuttlefish (Sepia bandensis) Thomas Barlow, Connor Gibbons Columbia University Department of Neurobiology and Behavior New York City, New York, USA Refle

Watch this octopus’ chromatophores in action 🐙 True masters of disguise, octopuses can change colour and texture in the blink of an eye thanks to these unique cells. Found in most species of cephalopods, chromatophores are tiny organs found under the skin which can expand and contract to help change the colour and texture of the animal's skin. 📹 by IG: kaushman | Euronews Green

Chromatophores firing on this squid. What are chromatophores? Chromatophores are organs that are present in the skin of many #cephalopods, such as #squids, #cuttlefish, and #octopuses, which contain pigment sacs that become more visible as small radial muscles pull the sac open making the pigment expand under the skin. Electrical activity within a #chromatophore nerve causes the radial muscle fibers of the chromatophore to pull outward toward the perimeter of the chromatophore, expanding the cen
