statoconia การใช้

• On top of this layer lie calcium carbonate crystals called statoconia or otoconia.
• On top of this layer lie calcium carbonate crystals called statoconia or otoliths.
• Statoconia are also sometimes termed a statocyst.
• Statoconia ( also called otoconia ) are numerous grains, often spherical in shape, between 1 and 50 祄; collectively.
• The gelatinous layer and the statoconia together are referred to as the otolithic membrane, where the tips of the stereocilia and kinocilium are embedded.
• When the head is tilted such that gravity pulls on the statoconia the gelatinous layer is pulled in the same direction also causing the sensory hairs to bend.
• The macula is also sensitive to linear acceleration as the inertia possessed by the statoconia can also shift the gelatinous layer during increases and decreases in linear velocity.
