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.

The Otolithic Membrane Mediates Otolith Organization
The FASEB Journal, 2016 Otoconia are small biocrystals that link mechanical forces to the sensory hair cells in the mammalian utricle and saccule, a process essential for sensing linear acceleration and gravity as well as maintaining bodily balance. In fish, structurally similar otoliths mediate both balance and hearing.

Surface View of the Guinea Pig Otolithic Membrane
ORL, 1970 Providing direct three-dimensional visualization, scanning electron microscopy gives more detailed information about shape, surface and arrangement pattern of the statoconia than all previous methods. Scanning electron microscopic surface views of the guinea pig otolithic membrane are presented, and the relevance of the results is discussed with ...

The effect of inertial force acceleration on the otolithic membrane
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2000 The purpose of this study was to examine the response of the otolithic membrane to vertical (Gz-axis) linear acceleration force. By collecting subjective sensation and objective data (vestibulo-spinal reflex response), our study investigated the consequence of exposing these sensory membranes to linear acceleration shear forces. We compared the pilot's

Cupula, Cupular Zone of Otolithic Membrane, and Tectorial Membrane in the Squirrel Monkey
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1969 The microscopic architecture of the cupula was studied in subhuman primates. It was determined that the cupula has a honeycomb-like mesh-work and that this meshwork may contain both neutral and acid poly-saccharides, as well as mucoprotein. The nature of the contents in the space enclosed by this meshwork is not certain although the existence of a ...

Otolithic Membranes of the Saccule and Utricle in Man
Science, 1967 The otolithic membranes of the human saccule and utricle can be prepared as whole mounts or surface specimens for microscopic examination. They are not simple, homogeneous, gelatinous structures as heretofore described. Instead, each shows a definite and characteristic fibrillar design, which appears to be correlated with the known cytoarchitectural ...
