Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Turtle Utricle: Structural and Regional Variations
… links and the mechanical properties of the kinocilium in the turtle utricle. The stiffness of hair bundles of varying structure and location along a medial to lateral transect of the utricle was examined. Bundle stiffness was greatest in the striola and demonstrated a systematic decline with …

Analysis of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundle Mechanics Using Finite Element Modeling
… more cilia, and also had a higher stereocilia/kinocilium height ratio than the cells in the other group. The stereocilia/kinocilium height ratio was the most important geometric factor in influencing bundle stiffness. Modeling a bundle as just its middle row of stereocilia resulted in some …

Mechanical Control of Sensory Hair-Bundle Function
… may or may not possess one true cilium, the kinocilium. Hair bundles differ in shape across organs and organisms: they may be isodiametric, fan-shaped, or V-shaped. Depending on the organ in which they occur, bundles may be free-standing or they may be coupled to a tectorial membrane, …
