The amphibian ovary, which contains six or more central, hollow sacs that give it a lobed appearance, is characterized as saccular. |
Most of the anuran saccular volume is filled with a viscous suspension of calcium carbonate crystals. |
The tuning of the saccular afferent axons to dorsoventral vibrations is well matched to this spectrum. |
Conclusion: A loss of saccular function can involve a postural disorder in some circumstances. |
The VEMP test is used to evaluate saccular function and the integrity of the inferior vestibular nerve. |
Microaneurysms are small saccular pouches, possibly caused by local distension of capillary walls. |
