Q

What the stages of the balance process tranmission?

A

26
what does it mean when i say SCC Function in a complimentary ‘push - pull’ fashion with opposite ear
* Two ears work together in balance detection * When one ear is excitatory teh opposite is inhibitory - turn head right - right SCC = excited. at the same time left SCC = inhibited
27
what are the Otolithic Organs
Utricle & Saccule
28
Detects linear acceleration in the horizontal plane & tilt | moving forward in a car or side to side
Utricle
29
Detects linear acceleration in the vertical plane | going up or down in an elevator
Saccule | Plays a role in sensing gravity and head orientation.
30
Name the parts of the cochlea
* outer wall = Bony labyrinth * Membranous labyrinth - suspended in endolymph * Utricle & Saccule - otoconia - Vestibaulr hair cells * SCC (3) - Vestibular hair cells - Cristae in ampulla - on top of cristae = cupula.
31
The outer wall of the labyrinth is called what?
The bony labyrinth and is filled with perilymph
32
Bony Labyrinth filled with what?
Perilymph
33
Inside the bony labyrinth is what?
Inside the bony labyrinth & suspended in perilymph is membranous labyrinth
34
The membranous labyrinth is filled with what?
Membranous labyrinth filled with endolymph
35
Membranous labyrinth is suspened in what?
Membranous Labyrinth suspended in perilymph
36
Name the 5 sensory organs housed within the membranous labyrinth
- Utricle macula - Saccule Macula - Three Cristae Ampullaris
37
Plays a large role in postural control and primarily senses changes in orientation with respect to gravity
The **utricle** plays a large role in postural control and primarily senses changes in orientation with respect to gravity.
38
important for maintaining balance and keeping the body in the correct posture
The **utricle** is important for maintaining balance and keeping the body in the correct posture
39
What is the utricles function
* The utricle is important for maintaining balance and keeping the body in the correct posture * Detects linear acceleration in the horizontal plane
40
What is Saccules function
- It is connected though the vestibular aqueduct & no open communcation with utricle & SCC - Detects linear acceleration in the vertical plane
41
What is the macula
* On macula is located in utricle and saccule * consists of a layer of calcium carbonate crystals aka otoconia
42
what consists of a layer of calcium carbonate crystals aka otoconia
Macula
43
Anatomy of the utricle & saccule
- Macula (layer of otoconia) - Otoconia - Below otoconia- gelatinous membrane - Vestibaular hair cells - stereocillia extend into the GM - Otoconia shift due to head movement
44
Posterior canal shares a plane with ____
Posterior canal shares a plane with the contralateral anterior canal
45
Anterior canal is paired with ______
Anterior canal is paired with posterior canal of opposite ear
46
Horizontal canal shares a plane with____
Horizontal canals share plane
47
Left Anterior with ______
Left Anterior with right posterior
48
left posterior with ___
Left posterior with right anterior
49
left horizontal with ___
left horizontal with right horizontal.
50
What are the sensory cells in the SCC
cristae or cristae ampullaris
51
The sensory cell in the Otolithic Organs
maculae
52
what is the cristae and where is it housed?
- Cristae is the SCC sensory cell - Housed within the ampulla (widening of the bony & membrance of canal)
53
Sitting atop the cristae is what
Sitting atop the cristae is **membrane called cupula**
54
Is the cupula sensitive to motion or gravity?
Cupula is exquisitely sensitive motion
55
The vestibular hair cells in the inner ear are stimulated when
The vestibular hair cells in the inner ear are stimulated when they bend in response to motion or changes in head position
56
Each vestibular hair cells has one ____ and several _____
Each vestibular hair cells has on **kinocilium** and several **stereocilia**
57
Movement that causes the stereocilia to flow towards the kinocilium =
Movement that causes the stereocilia to flow towards the kinocilium = **depolarization & increases in electrical charge**
58
When the stereocilia bend toward the kinocilium, the ion channels
When the stereocilia bend toward the kinocilium, the ion channels **open, allowing positively charged ions (such as potassium) to flow into the cell. depolarizing the hair cells increasing activity**
59
Movement that causes stereocilia to flow away from the kinocilium
Movement that causes stereocilia to flow away from the kinocilium = **hyperpolarization & decreases in electrical potential**
60
The stereocilia bend away from the kinocilium, the ion channels
if the stereocilia bend away from the kinocilium, the ion channels **close, hyperpolarization occurs decreasing the electrical activity of the hair cell.**
61

Horizontal
62
Name orientation of hair cells in the horizontal canal.
63
Name orientation of hair cells in the anterior canal.
64
Name orientation of hair cells in the Posterior canal.
65
# Name canal Endolymph movement towards the ampulla = Inhibitory Endolymph movement away from the ampulla = Excitation
Anterior or Posterior
66
# Name canal Endolymph movement towards the ampulla = Inhibitory Endolymph movement away from the ampulla = Excitation
Anterior or Posterior
67
____ Endolymph flow towards ampulla = Excitatory ______ Endolymph flow towards ampulla = Inhibitory
**Horizontal** Canal Endolymph flow towards ampulla = Excitatory **Anterior & Posterior** Endolymph flow towards ampulla = Inhibitory
68
Vestibular Hair cells are oriented towards the striola in the ____
Vestibular Hair cells are oriented towards the striola in the utricle
69
Vestibular Hair cells are oriented away from the striola in the ____
Vestibular Hair cells are oriented away from the striola in the saccule
