The fluid pushes the filaments of individual cells; movement of the filaments causes receptor cells to become open to receive the potassium-rich endolymph.
32.
Stimulation of the semicircular canals occurs when movement of the endolymph inside the canals causes movement of the crista ampullaris and the hair cells within them.
33.
The high potassium content of the endolymph means that potassium, not sodium, is carried as the de-polarizing electric current in the hair cells.
34.
These channels are cation-selective transduction channels that allow potassium and calcium ions to enter the hair cell from the endolymph that bathes its apical end.
35.
In addition to exocrine glands, NKCC1 is necessary for establishing the potassium-rich endolymph that bathes part of the cochlea, an organ necessary for hearing.
36.
These MET channels are cation-selective transduction channels that allow potassium and calcium ions to enter the hair cell from the endolymph that bathes its apical end.
37.
The tectorial membrane supports the remaining IHC and OHC . Tectorial membrane helps facilitate cochlear amplification by stimulating OHC ( direct ) and IHC ( via endolymph vibrations ).
38.
In this case, the auditory system undergoes temporary changes caused by a decrease in the oxygen tension of the cochlear endolymph that leads to vasoconstriction of the local vessels.
39.
:The fluid in your inner ear ( " endolymph " ) flows around the Semicircular canal and stimulates small hairs there that convey your sense of motion and balance.
40.
Vestibular and tympanic ducts are filled with perilymph, and the smaller cochlear duct between them is filled with endolymph, a fluid with a very different ion concentrations and voltage.
