Hair cells have stereocilia that project into a gelatinous material called the cupula, which activates vestibular neurons when moved.
Τα τριχίδια των τριχοκυττάρων προεξέχουν σε ένα ζελατινώδες υλικό που ονομάζεται θόλος, ο οποίος ενεργοποιεί τους αιθουσαίους νευρώνες όταν κινείται.
| Front | Describe the arrangement of hair cells, stereocilia, cupula, and vestibular neurons |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Receptors of the semicircular canals are hair cells located in the crista ampulla 2. Hair cells have stereocilia that are graded in height towards the tallest one called a kinocillium 3. Stereocilia project upwards into gelatinous material called the cupula |
