Transversal Otolithic Membrane Deflections Evoked by the Linear Accelerations [PDF]
International Journal of Biology, 2019 Considered is the model of the transversal utricle membrane deflections evoked by the linear accelerations. The basic idea underlying this consideration is that the linear accelerations can cause both longitudinal and transversal deformations when acting along the membrane in the buckling way.

An Electron Microscopic Study of the Otolithic Membrane
Practica Oto-Rhino-Laryngologica, 1978 Morphological studies were made of the otolithic membrane in its normal and pathological states in guinea pig, mice and squirrel monkey using scanning and transmission electron microscopes.The otolithic membrane normally consists of three layers; the first layer, situated nearest the endolymph, is an otoconial layer wherein otoconia of calcite form of ...

A New Perspective to Interpret How the Vestibular Efferent System Correlates the Complexity of Routine Balance Maintenance with Management of Emergency Fall Prevention Strategies [PDF]
Audiology ResearchBipedalism is unique among mammals. Until modern times, a fall and resulting leg fracture could be fatal. Balance maintenance after a destabilizing event requires instantaneous decision making.

Tectorial Membrane and Otolithic Membrane of Pigeon Inner Ear. A Scanning Electron Microscope Study
Archivum histologicum japonicum, 1973 The tectorial membrane and otolithic membrane of pigeon inner ear were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Special attention was paid to the possible connection of sensory cells to the membranes.1. Each hair bundle of the sensory cells of the cochlea was enclosed in a cavity on the under side of the tectorial membrane, the longest hairs being ...

Motion of the otolithic membrane in the bullfrog sacculus [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015 Accessory structures that overlie the sensory epithelia of the various inner ear organs play an important role in the transduction of mechanical perturbations by the underlying hair cells. It imposes a load (mass, offset in position) on individual hair bundles and is the medium that mechanically couples multiple hair bundles.

Electron probe microanalysis of the otolithic membrane. A methodological and quantitative study. [PDF]
Scanning microscopy, 1992 The effect of tissue preparation on calcium and potassium weight percent in the otoconial layer in the utricle and saccule was studied in four groups of OF1 mice with electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Glutaraldehyde and freeze-drying, glutaraldehyde and air-drying, air-drying, and cryo-fixation and freeze-drying were compared.
