| 11. | Subsequent work led to the suggestion that the saccule was the end organ excited.
|
| 12. | Two other organs that are part of the vestibular system are the utricle and saccule.
|
| 13. | The structures that enable the saccule to gather this vestibular information are the hair cells.
|
| 14. | It receives the sound in its saccule, a sensory organ in the inner ear.
|
| 15. | This duct appears approximately during the sixth week and connects to the saccule through the ductus reuniens.
|
| 16. | In mice lacking the otoconia of the utricle and saccule, this retained acoustic sensitivity is lost.
|
| 17. | An endolymphatic duct runs from the saccule up through the head, and ending close to the brain.
|
| 18. | The other two sensory organs supplied by the vestibular neurons are the maculae of the saccule and utricle.
|
| 19. | The surfactant reduces the surface tension at the air-alveolar surface which allows expansion of the terminal saccules.
|
| 20. | The "'saccule "'is a bed of sensory cells situated in the inner ear.
