• The coordinated sensory perception of acceleration both vertically and horizontally along the vestibular nerve, allow for the perception of linear acceleration in any direction. (wikipedia.org)
  • Hydrops in the utricle may occur less frequently because of a thicker wall, because of a functioning UEV, and when the saccule has already occupied most of the vestibular perilymphatic space. (bvsalud.org)
  • The macula of saccule lies in a nearly vertical position. (wikipedia.org)
  • The macula of the utricle is in a horizontal position and detects horizontal acceleration. (wikipedia.org)
  • We report a case with cupulolithiasis of the horizontal semicircular canal presenting with horizontal PSN in a sitting position, with implications for a new pathomechanism of PSN. (bvsalud.org)
  • CONCLUSION: Increases in endolymphatic pressure may cause a primary swelling of the apical cochlear duct and saccule, both of which have relatively thin membranes. (bvsalud.org)
  • The temperature gradient provokes the stimulation of the horizontal semicircular canal and the consequent nystagmus. (juniperpublishers.com)
  • In ears without MD, the Reissner's membrane and the membranous wall of the saccule were thinner than that of the utricle and of the lateral semicircular canal ( p (bvsalud.org)
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the horizontal semicircular canal may present a differential diagnostic challenge. (bvsalud.org)
  • We report a case with cupulolithiasis of the horizontal semicircular canal presenting with horizontal PSN in a sitting position, with implications for a new pathomechanism of PSN. (bvsalud.org)
  • The vestibule is a region of the inner ear which contains the saccule and the utricle, each of which contain a macula to detect linear acceleration. (wikipedia.org)
  • The coordinated sensory perception of acceleration both vertically and horizontally along the vestibular nerve, allow for the perception of linear acceleration in any direction. (wikipedia.org)
  • The rest of the outer ear is composed of a bent canal that goes vertically and then almost horizontally to lead to the eardrum. (rabbit.org)
  • The semicircular canals contain the receptors responding specifically to angular accelerations with the help of three ducts (anterior/superior, lateral/horizontal, and posterior) located at 90° to each other (Figure above refers). (avmed.in)
  • : 745 The canal then curves nearly vertically inferior-ward along the posterior wall . (cloudfront.net)
  • The lateral crus of horizontal part ends by turning sharply inferior-ward, commencing the distal-most descending part (or mastoid segment [5] ) of facial canal which passes vertically inferior-ward, ending distally at the stylomastoid foramen . (cloudfront.net)
  • Its anterior part exhibits an oval thickening, the macula of saccule (or saccular macula), to which are distributed the saccular filaments of the acoustic nerve. (wikipedia.org)
  • The macula of saccule lies in a nearly vertical position. (wikipedia.org)
  • There are two otolith organs on each side of the head: those of the utricle lie in an approximately horizontal plane when the head is in a normal upright position, and those of the saccule lie in the vertical plane. (avmed.in)
  • the utricle was involved approximately half as frequently. (bvsalud.org)
