Semicircular canals and ducts anterior posterior lateral
Receptors in the labyrinth 2 maculae (sacculus, utriculus) 3 crests (in the 3 ampullae) - Secondary sensory epithelium - bipolar ggl. cells vestibular ggl. (Scarpa)
I. + II. - + Receptor cells • Macula and crista ampullaris • - Kinocilium (9x2 +2) and 40-100 stereocilia, • - Mechanoreceptors in the otolithmembrans • or in the cupula • - Type I. • Type II. • - Supporting cells
Cristae ampullares – angular acceleration Head Endolymph Tehetetlenségi áramlás
Maculae - linear acceleration otoconia

Meniére-disease Cause? Probable cause: endolymph amount increases enters perilymphatic spaces also all hair cells (Corti organ, maculae, cristae) functionally altered. Affects hearing and balance to a varying degree. It is characterized by episodes of severe vertigo (dizziness) and tinnitus (ringing in the ear or machine like sounds) and progressive hearing loss.
