Grains of calcium carbonate in the maculae?
Otoliths
What is the techinical name for the crystals suspended in fluid of inner ear?
Otoliths or otoconia
What 4 parts of the ear function in static equilibrium?
Saccule, otoliths, utricle, and semicircular ducts.
Tiny stones made of calcium salts that roll in response to changes in gravitational pull are called?
Otoliths
The sense organs for your vestibular sense are the?
Otoliths sense linear accelerations. The semicircular canal system sense rotations. Both are located in the inner ear.
Grains of calcium carbonate in the maculae?
Otoliths
Otoliths are found in the?
semi-circular canals
Sites of the maculae?
otoliths and vestibular nerve
Where are the never fibers that detect gravity and speed located?
otoliths
What has the author T Hecht written?
T. Hecht has written: 'The value of otoliths in fresh water fisheries biology and taxonomy' -- subject(s): Age determination, Classification, Fishes, Growth, Otoliths
Is the otoliths responsible for static equilibrium?
when the head moves, the otoliths move in response to variations in gravitational pull. As they deflect different hair cells, they trigger hyperpolarization or depolarization of the hair cells and modify the rate of impulse transmission along the vestibular nerve
What are the ear parts of the inner ear?
The cochlea, the semicircular canal system, and the otoliths.
What is the techinical name for the crystals suspended in fluid of inner ear?
Otoliths or otoconia
What is a sagitta?
A sagitta is the keystone of an arch, or the larger of the two otoliths found in most fish.
What is an asteriscus?
An asteriscus is one of the otoliths found in the lagena of many non-mammalian vertebrates.
What 4 parts of the ear function in static equilibrium?
Saccule, otoliths, utricle, and semicircular ducts.
What does perception of gravity and linear perception depend on?
the force exerted by otoliths on hair cells of the maculae.
