Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates, and in the lateral line organ of fishes. Through mechanotransduction, …

Hair cells can convert the displacement of the stereociliary bundle into an electrical potential in as little as 10 microseconds; indeed, such speed is required to faithfully transduce high-frequency …

Jun 18, 2018 · Sensory hair cells are specialized secondary sensory cells that mediate our senses of hearing, balance, linear acceleration, and angular acceleration (head rotation).

10 hours ago · Distinctions Between Inner And Outer Hair Cells. The cochlea contains two types of sensory hair cells—inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs)—each with …

In the inner ear, the deflection of hair bundles, the sensory organelles of hair cells, activates mechanically-gated channels (MGCs). Hair bundles monitor the head’s orientation, its angular …

Be able to explain how sound transduction happens from inner hair cells to the brainstem. Be able to describe the motile response (electromotility) of the outer hair cells. The inner hair cells are …

Hair cells are the transducers that change mechanical energy of motion to electrical signals conveyed as vestibular nerve action potentials. These hair cells come in two shapes, a goblet …

Cochlear, as well as vestibular, sensory cells are called hair cells because they are characterised by having a cuticular plate with a tuft of stereocilia bathing in the surrounding endolymph. The …

Because mammalian hair cells do not regenerate, the repair of hair cell damage is important for continued auditory function throughout life. Here we discuss how several key hair cell …

Jan 1, 2006 · Sound vibrations conducted to the cochlea are detected by inner and outer hair cells. Both types of hair cell transduce sound stimuli through minute displacements of their hair …
