statolith การใช้

• In other words, the statolith shifts as the animal moves.
• Each of the four statolith is oval and is located at the base of each rhopalium.
• The researchers studied one of the squid's smallest features, a bonelike particle called a statolith that is not much larger than a grain of sand.
• Any movement large enough to throw the organism off balance causes the statolith to brush against tiny bristles which in turn send a message to the brain to correct its balance.
• The age of a giant squid can be determined by " growth rings " in the statocyst's statolith, similar to determining the age of a tree by counting its rings.
• Gravitropic mutants have been identified that effect starch accumulation, such as those affecting the " PGM1 " gene in Arabidopsis, causing plastids-the presumptive statoliths-to be less dense and, in support of the starch-statolith hypothesis, less sensitive to gravity.
