sensory epithelium

Occasionally some sensory epithelium may be present; this implies the possibility of function.

The tube is well insulated and signals voltage down the sensory epithelium to the electroreceptors.

The hollow channels of the inner ear are filled with liquid, and contain a sensory epithelium that is studded with hair cells.

The organ of Corti forms a ribbon of sensory epithelium which runs lengthwise down the cochlea's entire scala media.

Otoconia are minute biomineral particles embedded in a gelatinous membrane that overlies the sensory epithelium in the inner ear.

Within the cochlea, the hair cells on the sensory epithelium of the organ of Corti bend and cause movement of the basilar membrane.

Researchers rarely equate auditory receptive fields to particular regions of the sensory epithelium such as, in the case of mammals, hair cells in the cochlea.

A kinocilium is a special type of cilium on the apex of hair cells located in the sensory epithelium of the vertebrate inner ear.

Every other section was scored for each sensory epithelium and every forth section was scored for each ganglion.

Since the positions of individual glomeruli are topographically defined, the bulb provides a spatial map that identifies which of the receptors have been activated in the sensory epithelium.

It receives axonal input from the vomeronasal organ, a distinct sensory epithelium from the main olfactory epithelium that detects pheromones, among other chemical stimuli.

Its sensory epithelium contains sensory neurons that project axons back to rhinophore ganglia and dendrites that end in either a surface-exposed cilium or a small protuberance.

In fact, the reduction of fibers seems to be rather uniform throughout a given sensory epithelium with the crista innervation being qualitatively no more reduced than the innervation of the utricle and saccule.

The NT-3 signal was more diffuse in both the control and the Brn3c null littermates but showed some slightly above background signal in the area of the sensory epithelium even in the Brn3c null mutant.

The bulb therefore provides a spatial map that identifies which of the numerous receptors have been activated within the sensory epithelium such that the quality of an olfactory stimulus would be encoded by specific combinations of glomeruli activated by a given odorant.

Nerve fibers can be traced into the sensory epithelium of P0 and P8 Brn3c null mutants past the habenula perforata and there is a normal location of spiral sensory neurons in Rosenthal's canal in the apex of P8 Brn3c null mutants (Fig.
