Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Turtle Utricle: Structural and Regional Variations
Vestibular hair cells are mechanotransducing sensory receptors in the vertebrate inner ear that detect movement and orientation of the head with respect to gravity. The morphologies of their ciliary bundles vary greatly for different species, endorgans, and within the same endorgan. Bundle …

Experimental Measurements of Vestibular Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Red Ear Slider Turtle Utricle
… organs, sensory receptors in the form of hair cells detect motion and send a message to the brain for interpretation. Hair cells found in different parts of the inner ear are structurally different and are mechanically specialized to perform different functions. In this study, the linear …

The functional role of the mammalian tectorial membrane in the cochlear mechanics
… segments are. Analysis of loading effects of hair bundle stiffness, the limbal attachment of the TM, and viscous damping in the subtectorial space suggests that TM traveling waves can occur in vivo. To test how TM waves may participate in cochlear function, we investigated waves in genetically …

Modeling and Monitoring of Otolith Organ Performance in US Navy Operating Environments
… by this model show that a single value for hair bundle stiffness throughout the organ is inadequate for the organ to respond to the entire range of human acceleration perception. Therefore, it is necessary for a range of hair bundle stiffnesses to exist in each organ. Natural frequencies …

The Cellular Basis for Hearing
Hair cells constitute the cellular basis for hearing. Their primary role is to convert mechanical signal into electrical signal through the ion channels, called ``mechano-electrical transducer (MET) channels'', in the hair bundles of hair cells. Another important function of hair cells is to …
