| 41. | Further studies are looking to understand why the restoration of the stereocilia did not improve the hearing ability of the mutated mice.
|
| 42. | Part of the crista ampullaris, the cupula has embedded within it hair cells that have several stereocilia associated with each kinocilium.
|
| 43. | As the endolymph pushes the cupula, the stereocilia is bent as well, stimulating the hair cells within the crista ampullaris.
|
| 44. | The cupula, and the stereocilia within, are moved by a certain amount depending on the movement of the surrounding water.
|
| 45. | Kinocilium are the longest stereocilia and are positioned ( one per 40-70 regular cilia ) in the center of the bundle.
|
| 46. | The hair cells turn the fluid pressure and other mechanical stimuli into electric stimuli via the many microvilli that make up stereocilia rods.
|
| 47. | At the core of these hair-like stereocilia are rigid cross-linked actin filaments, which can renew every 48 hours.
|
| 48. | Each hair cell has about 70 stereocilia ( short rod-like hair cells ) and one kinocilium ( long hair cell ).
|
| 49. | When stereocilia in the tallest row are deflected in the positive-stimulus direction, the shorter rows of stereocilia are also deflected.
|
| 50. | When stereocilia in the tallest row are deflected in the positive-stimulus direction, the shorter rows of stereocilia are also deflected.
