16
Q

Where is the location of the peripheral system?

A
  • MEDIAL TO THE MIDDLE EAR SURROUNDED BY TEMPORAL BONE
  • MEMBRANOUS LABYRINTHS SUSPENDED IN BONY LABYRINTH
17
Q

What are four parts of the bony labrynth?

A

THREE SCC

AND A CENTRAL CHAMBER CALLED THE VESTIBULE

18
Q

What fluid is in the bony labrynth, and what is distinctive about it?

A
  • FILLED WITH PERILYMPH
  • (high Na:K ratio and
  • communicates with CSF in the subarachnoid space via the cochlear aqueduct)
19
Q

What are the five parts of the membranous labrynth?

A
  • three SSC (angular velocity)
    • anterior
    • posterior
    • horizontal
  • Two otolith organs (orientation of the head with respect to gravity; linear acceleraton)
    • Utricle
    • Saccule
20
Q

What is the membranous labrynth filled with and what is distinctive about it?

A

FILLED WITH ENDOLYMPH

(high K:Na ratio)

21
Q

What is Endolymph similar too?

A
  • Intercellular fluid
22
Q

Is there communication between endolymph and perilymph in the normal individual?

A

No!

23
Q

Describe the sensory organ part of the SSC?

A
  • ONE END IS WIDENED TO FORM THE AMPULA
    • HAIR CELLS REST ON A TUFT OF NERVE AND BLOOD VESSELS, called THE CRISTA AMPULLARIS
    • OVER HAIR CELLS LIES A MEMBRANE CALLED THE CUPULA
24
Q

what make up hair cells?

A

Actin and myosin

25
Q

Summary of the Ampula of SSC (5)

A
  1. CHRISTA AMPULARIS (blood vessels nerve fibers and supporting tissue)
  2. CUPULA OVERLIES THE CRISTA
  3. TRANSLATES FLOW OF ENDOLYMPH INTO DEFLECTION OF THE HAIR CELLS
  4. INSENITIVE TO GRAVITY
  5. HAIR CELLS IN THE CRISTA AND IN THE MACULA HAVE HIGH METABOLIC RATE (blood sugar, thyroid)
26
Q

Summary of otolith organs

A
  1. MACULA (in otolith organs) CONTAIN OTOCONIA
    • creates MORE MASS THAN CUPULA
  2. DEFORMS IN RESPONSE TO GRAVITY
  3. HAIR CELLS IN THE CRISTA AND IN THE MACULA HAVE HIGH METABOLIC RATE (blood sugar, thyroid)
27
Q

where are macula?

A

found in the 2 otolith organs, (the utricle and the saccule)

28
Q

what is the constant firing rate of hair cells at rest?

A

100 spikes per second

29
Q

which cranial nerve do hair cells send thier signal through?

A

8th

30
Q

What vestibular condition causes stimulation of the medial longitudinal fasciculus and vestibolo spinal tract?

A

ANY DIFERENCE IN FIRING RATE ACROSS MIDLINE THE VESTIBULAR NUCLEUS RESULTS IN STIMULATION OF THE MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL FASCICULUS AND VESTIBULOSPINAL TRACT
