What structure gives info about rotational acceleration
Semicircular canal
What gravity liner or rotational acceleration
Linear acceleration
Where do first order neurons have their cell bodies
In scarpis
Which cranial nerve is associated with cochlear nerve
Cranial nerve 8
Which hair cells are longer stereocilia or kinocilium
Kinocilium
What concentration does Paralymph have
A normal concentration of K+ (low concentration)
What are the two structures associated with the otolymph organ
Utricle and Saccule
What’s the orientation of the utricle
Sense of horizontal plane motion and frontal plane motion
What’s the orientation of the Sacculus
Senses up and down acceleration and the Sagittal plane
When happens when hair cells are depolarized
They release neurotransmitters
What is the otoconia
Are calcium carbonate crystal which do not move with movement of the otolithic membrane
What type of motion does the semicircular canal sense
Rotational motion
When you move your head which way does the capula move
In the opposite direction
