The cochlea within the inner ear contains the cells responsible for the perception of sound. Unfortunately for researchers, the structures of interest are housed in a rather inaccessible part of the skull, totally embedded in bone. In spite of this, the anatomy was well described in the mid-...
The inner ear consists of the cochlea, semicircular cs, and vestibule. These structures look like winding passageways, so the inner ear is also called ___.A.the courtB.the mazeC.the circusD.the labyrinth的答案是什么.用刷刷题APP,拍照搜索答疑.
hair cell- a sensory epithelial cell present in the organ of Corti organ of hearing- the part of the ear that is responsible for sensations of sound cochlea- the snail-shaped tube (in the inner ear coiled around the modiolus) where sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses by the ...
The mechanisms responsible for age-associated hearing loss are still incompletely characterized. In this study, we used a murine model of age-dependent hearing loss and evaluated whether this condition is associated with vascular modifications of the structures of the inner ear. We used old C57BL/...

The structures of the outer (external) ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Introduction The auditory system is responsible for hearing and is consisted of the peripheral and central auditory system. The peripheral auditory system includes the structure of the outer ear, middle ear, and the inner ea...

are the main component of the BBB responsible for selective permeability to small lipophilic molecules [7]. These cells tightly bind together to prevent paracellular drug transport across the BBB and contribute to the high transendothelial resistance (TEER) that limits the passive diffusion of external...
the remaining proteins share similar structures, featuring an NT pore-forming domain and a CT regulatory domain. The NT domains of GSDMA-E are able to penetrate the lipid bilayers and form pores,28,29,33,35,36,39,40whereas DNFB59 no longer possesses this pore-forming ability, yet it remain...
When you arrive at Divide Meadow, you may hear an osprey’s shriek cutting across the prairie from its nest in the crook of a branch. Sound waves created by the squawk bump the fluid-filled cochlea in your inner ear. The fluid ripples and sets off hair-like structures, which form electr...
