Independence of the Endovestibular Potential in Homeotherms
Independence of the Endovestibular Potential in Homeotherms ROBERT S. SCHMIDT From the Department of Surgery (Otolaryngology), University of Chicago, Chicago ABS TR Ac T The endolymphatic potential was recorded from various vestibular parts of the labyrinth from which the cochlea (in the case of guinea pigs) or the cochlea, lagena, and sacculus (in the case of pigeons) had been removed. This endovesfibular potential of the isolated vestibule declined during anoxia and recovered after anoxia in the same manner as the endovestibular potential of the intact labyrinth. Its non-anoxic level was the same as in the intact laby- rinth; i.e., +5 to -[-8 mv in the pigeon and +2 to +5 mv in the guinea pig. It is, therefore, concluded that the endovestibular potential is independent of the cochlea, stria vascularis, and endocochlear potential. INTRODUCTION The endolymphatic potential discovered by B~k~sy (1) has been studied in both the cochlea (2) and vestibule (3, 4). This potential in the cochlea, the endocochlear potential (ECP), is about 80 mv positive in mammals and about 15 mv positive in birds (5). The potential in the vestibular parts of the labyrinth, the endovestibular potential (EVP), is much lower in homeotherms (4--6). Three assumptions regarding the EVP are quite common (4, 7, 8):--that nothing compared to the stria vascularis, the probable source of the ECP, is found in the vestibule; that the EVP results merely from spread of the ECP; and that the EVP is therefore of little interest or importance. These assumptions have very little theoretical or experimental foundation. -
Mathematical Model of the Cupula-Endolymph System with Morphological Parameters for the Axolotl (Ambystoma Tigrinum) Semicircular Canals
138 The Open Medical Informatics Journal, 2008, 2, 138-148 Open Access Mathematical Model of the Cupula-Endolymph System with Morphological Parameters for the Axolotl (Ambystoma tigrinum) Semicircular Canals Rosario Vega1, Vladimir V. Alexandrov2,3, Tamara B. Alexandrova1,3 and Enrique Soto*,1 1Instituto de Fisiología, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2Facultad de Ciencias Físico Matemáticas, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 3 Lomonosov Moscow State University, Mexico Abstract: By combining mathematical methods with the morphological analysis of the semicircular canals of the axolotl (Ambystoma tigrinum), a system of differential equations describing the mechanical coupling in the semicircular canals was obtained. The coefficients of this system have an explicit physiological meaning that allows for the introduction of morphological and dynamical parameters directly into the differential equations. The cupula of the semicircular canals was modeled both as a piston and as a membrane (diaphragm like), and the duct canals as toroids with two main regions: i) the semicircular canal duct and, ii) a larger diameter region corresponding to the ampulla and the utricle. The endolymph motion was described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The analysis of the model demonstrated that cupular behavior dynamics under periodic stimulation is equivalent in both the piston and the membrane cupular models, thus a general model in which the detailed cupular structure is not relevant was derived. Keywords: Inner ear, vestibular, hair cell, transduction, sensory coding, physiology. 1. INTRODUCTION linear acceleration detectors, and the SCs as angular accel- eration detectors, notwithstanding that both sensory organs The processing of sensory information in the semicircular are based on a very similar sensory cell type. -

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria. -

The Nervous System: General and Special Senses
18 The Nervous System: General and Special Senses PowerPoint® Lecture Presentations prepared by Steven Bassett Southeast Community College Lincoln, Nebraska © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Introduction • Sensory information arrives at the CNS • Information is “picked up” by sensory receptors • Sensory receptors are the interface between the nervous system and the internal and external environment • General senses • Refers to temperature, pain, touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception • Special senses • Refers to smell, taste, balance, hearing, and vision © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Receptors • Receptors and Receptive Fields • Free nerve endings are the simplest receptors • These respond to a variety of stimuli • Receptors of the retina (for example) are very specific and only respond to light • Receptive fields • Large receptive fields have receptors spread far apart, which makes it difficult to localize a stimulus • Small receptive fields have receptors close together, which makes it easy to localize a stimulus. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 18.1 Receptors and Receptive Fields Receptive Receptive field 1 field 2 Receptive fields © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
