| All three parts are connected and filled with a fluid known as the endolymph. |
|
| If the membranous labyrinth ruptures, the endolymph mixes with another inner ear fluid called perilymph. |
|
| Free-moving particles in the endolymph of the canals make the latter sensitive to position changes and produce the symptoms. |
|
| There are drugs that can help reduce the rate at which endolymph is secreted in the labyrinth. |
|
| More specifically, these cells maintain the ionic composition of the cochlear endolymph. |
|
| Vibrations of the oval window are transmitted to the perilymph in the scala vestibuli and across the vestibular membrane to the endolymph of the cochlear duct. |
|
| Movement of the head causes the endolymph to flow either toward or away from the cupula. |
|
| The tubes of the inner ear, suspended in a fluid called perilymph, contain another fluid, the endolymph. |
|
| Because the membranous labyrinth is a closed system, the questions of flow and removal of the endolymph are also important. |
|
| This fluid, called endolymph, sends signals to the brain about your hearing and balance. |
|
| Rinse the otolith in three successive baths of distilled water, remove the tissue and endolymph on the otoliths. |
|
| People with Ménière's disease generally have too much of a certain fluid, called endolymph, in one or both of their inner ears. |
|
| The endolymph is thought to be reabsorbed from the endolymphatic sac, although this appears to be only part of the story. |
|
| The scala media, containing the organ of Corti and filled with endolymph, cannot be visualised separately with current imaging systems. |
|
| Evidence indicates that the endolymph is produced from perilymph as a result of selective ion transport through the epithelial cells of Reissner's membrane and not directly from the blood. |
|
| At present, we are unable to differentiate the signal of the endolymph seen in a large endolymphatic sac from perilymph and cerebrospinal fluid. |
|
| Other tissues of the cochlea, as well as the dark cells of the vestibular organs, which must produce their own endolymph, are also thought to be involved in maintaining the ionic composition of the endolymph. |
|
| The process of formation of the endolymph and the maintenance of the difference in ionic composition between it and perilymph are not yet completely understood. |
|
| The wave motion is transmitted to the endolymph inside the cochlear duct. |
|
| Vertigo can be caused by a reduction in endolymph absorption by the endolymphatic sac and by an abnormal secretion of osmotically active proteins by the sac. |
|
|
|
| However, modifications of these cells due to the movement of the endolymph in the inner ear, results in a change in the tonic neuronal firing rate. |
|
| The membranous labyrinth is filled with a liquid known as endolymph. |
