  1. Endocochlear potential

    multiple issues confusing June 2010 unreferenced June 2010 The endocochlear potential is the main resting potential in the cochlea . It is a positive direct current of 80mV which can be recorded from the endolymph with electrodes. When a sound is presented, the endocochlear potential changes either positive or negative in the endolymph , depending on the stimulus. The change in the potential is called the summating potential . With the movement of the basilar membrane , a shear force is created and a small potential is generated due to a difference in potential between the endolymph scala media 80 mV and the perilymph vestibular and tympanic ducts 70 mV . An acoustic stimulus produces a simultaneous change in conductance at the membrane of the receptor cell. Because there is a steep gradient 150 mV, changes in membrane conductance are accompanied by rapid influx and efflux of ions which in turn produce the receptor potential. This is known as the Battery Hypothesis. The receptor potential for each hair cell causes a release of neurotransmitter at its basal pole, which elicits excitation of the afferent nerve fibres.

Effects of alcohol Further reading Short term effects of alcohol vertigo Buoyancy Hypothesis The Buoyancy Hypothesis posits that alcohol causes Vertigo medical vertigo by affecting the neutral buoyancy of the cupula within the surrounding fluid called the endolymph . Linear accelerations such as that of gravity should not in theory effect a movement of the cupula when it is neutrally buoyant. The Buoyancy Hypothesis assumes that alcohol, with a different specific gravity from that of the cupula endolymph, diffuses at different rates into the cupula and the surrounding endolymph. The result is a temporary density gradient between the cupula and endolymph, and a consequent erroneous sensitivity to linear accelerations such as that of gravity by a system normally signalling rotational accelerations. ref http books.google.ca books?id dFevxJ0mJncC&pg PA285&lpg PA285&dq cupula buoyancy hypothesis&source bl&ots Vtd49U7 HZ&sig 3SWuJ2s5JmZrw45BNbXpGdzdQzg&hl en&ei 4o1dTcL6BcP48AaPoMXOCg&sa X&oi book result&ct result&resnum 1&ved 0CBUQ6AEwAA v onepage&q cupula 20buoyancy ...   more details

The function of the crista ampullaris is to sense angular acceleration and deceleration. Background The inner ear comprises two specialized regions of the membranous labyrinth the saccule and the utricle . The saccule gives rise to the cochlear duct , which is involved in the special sense Hearing sense hearing . The utricle gives rise to the semicircular canals, which is involved in Equilibrioception equilibrium balance . The Semicircular canals are filled with endolymph, and also contain an inner membranous sleeve that forms a semicircular duct. The semicircular duct is filled with endolymph, and contains the crista ampullaris. The receptor cells located in the semicircular canal are innervated by the eighth cranial nerve, aka vestibulocochlear nerve more specifically the vestibular portion . The crista ampullaris itself is a cone shaped structure, covered in receptor cells called hair cells . Covering the crista ampullaris is a gelatinous mass called the cupula. Upon angular acceleration rotation , the endolymph within the semicircular duct deflects the cupula against the hair cells of the crista ampullaris. The hair cells respond by stimulating neurons that innervate them.

It is one of the most common inner ear deformities which results in hearing loss during childhood. Pathology The vestibular aqueduct acts as a canal between the inner ear and the cranial cavity. Running through it is a tube called the endolymphatic duct , which normally carries a fluid called endolymph from the inner ear to the endolymphatic sac in the cranial cavity. When the endolymphatic duct and sac are larger than normal, however, as is the case in large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, endolymph is allowed to travel back from the endolympathic sac into the inner ear. This often results from abnormal or delayed development of the inner ear during childhood. Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome is often comorbid with other inner ear development problems, such as cochlea r deformities. Studies show that genetic defects are related to large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, and have connected the disorder specifically to a defect on chromosome 7q31. Hearing loss caused by large vestibular aqueduct syndrome is not inevitable, although people with the syndrome are at a much higher risk of developing hearing loss than the general population.

  1. Otolithic membrane

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Expert subject Medicine date November 2008 The otolithic membrane is a gelatinous biological membrane membrane located in the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear , and plays an essential role in the brain s interpretation of equilibrium. Both the saccular macula and utricular macula are covered by an otolithic membrane, thus providing the common name of the otoliths to the utricle and saccule . The membrane is composed of crystalline particles of calcium carbonate called otolith otoliths . When the head is moved the otoliths shift, causing cilia in the nearby saccule and utricle to distort. This produces nerve signals which are sent to the brain, which then uses them to establish its sense of balance. The embedded crystals are very and dense and make the density of the otolithic membrane higher than that of the endolymph surrounding it. When the head accelerates along a line or tilts to change its orientation to gravity, the otolithic membrane shifts relative to the bone supporting the maculae. This shift bends the hair cells whose processes are embedded in the otolithic membrane. Category Vestibular system DEFAULTSORT Otolithic Membrane Med stub ...   more details

Anatomy in humans Kinocilia on hair cells in the human ear are involved in the senses of movement and hearing . In the auditory system , each hair cell has a kinocilium that is important in the depolarization or hyperpolarization of the cell. In the vestibular system , movement causes displacement of the stereocilia and kinocilium, resulting in depolarization or hyperpolarization of the cell. The depolarization of the hair cells in both instances causes signal transduction via neurotransmitter release. Auditory system In the human ear, each hair cell has a single non motile cilium like structure known as the kinocilium. The movement of other stereocilia on the hair cell towards the kinocilium, as a result of endolymph http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov sites pubmed flow, will cause potassium channels on the cilia to open due to a pulling force that each stereocilia exerts on its neighboring cell usually from tallest to shortest in a bundle of stereocilia and this leads to the depolarization of the hair cell. This pattern of depolarization should not be confused with the more common depolarization which involves the influx of Na into the cell which K channels stay closed. Endolymph composition resembles that of the intracellular fluid more K and less Na more closely compared to its counterpart, perilymph which resembles the extracellular fluid more Na and less K compared to intracellular matrix . This depolarization will open voltage gated calcium channels. The influx of calcium then triggers the cell to release vesicles containing excitatory neurotransmitters into a synapse. The post synaptic neurite then sends an action potential to the spi ...   more details

The macula of utricle allows a person to perceive changes in longitudinal acceleration as well as effects of gravity. Layers The macula consists of three layers. The bottom layer is made of sensory hair cells which are embedded in bottom of a gelatinous layer. Each hair cells consists of 40 to 70 steriocilia and a kinocilium, which lies in the middle of the steriocilia and is the most important receptor. On top of this layer lie calcium carbonate crystals called statoconia or otoliths . The otoliths are relatively heavy, providing weight to the membrane as well as inertia. This allows for a greater sense of gravity and motion. The gelatinous layer and the statoconia together are referred to as the otolithic membrane, where the tips of the reocilia and kinocilium are embedded. When the head is tilted such that gravity pulls on the statoconia the gelatinous layer is pulled in the same direction also causing the sensory hairs to bend. Signals Unbent and at rest hairs in the macula have a base rate of depolarization of 90 100 action potentials a second.
