otolithic การใช้

• Otolithic function can also be compromised after unilateral vestibular neurectomy.
• The otolithic membrane can be affected in patients with M閚i鑢e's disease.
• For this reason, the saccule is sometimes called an " otolithic organ ."
• It is generally associated with natural age-related degeneration of the otolithic membrane.
• A gelatinous cover called the otolithic membrane envelops the tips of the stereocilia and kinocilium.
• In vertical linear acceleration, the weighted otolithic membrane lags behind the stereocilia and kinocilium.
• Covering the surface of the otolithic membrane are otoliths, which are crystals of calcium carbonate.
• The otolithic membrane is weighted with small densely packed protein-calcium carbonate granules called statoconica.
• In the vestibular system, the stereocilia are located in the otolithic organs and the semicircular canals.
• Otolithic organs update the brain on the head-location when not moving; SCC update during movement.
• Supporting cells interdigitate between hair cells and secrete the otolithic membrane, a thick, gelatinous layer of glycoprotein.
• These are called the otolithic organs and are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line.
• The hair cells of the otolithic organs are blanketed with a jelly-like layer studded with tiny calcium stones called otoconia.
• In 1998, NASA sent the oyster toadfish into space to investigate the effects of microgravity on the development of otolithic organs.
• Also shows the utricle and saccule-otolithic organs that are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line.
• The phenomenon is thought to be triggered by a sudden mechanical disturbance of the otolithic membrane that activates motoneurons in the vestibulospinal tract.
• A shift in the otolithic membrane that stimulates the cilia is considered the state of the body until the cilia are once again stimulated.
• The gelatinous layer and the statoconia together are referred to as the otolithic membrane, where the tips of the stereocilia and kinocilium are embedded.
• Both are made of the same sensory tissue containing hair cells, which is covered by a gelatinous layer and the otolithic membrane on top.
• One consequence of the similar effects exerted on otolithic hair cells by certain head tilts and linear accelerations is that otolith afferents cannot convey information that distinguishes between these two types of stimuli.
