Descriptor English: Hair Cells, Vestibular
Descriptor Spanish: Células Ciliadas Vestibulares
Descriptor células ciliadas vestibulares
Scope note: Células sensoriales de la mácula acústica cuyos ESTEREOCILIOS apicales están embebidos en una MEMBRANA OTOLÍTICA gelatinosa. Estas células ciliadas son estimuladas por el movimiento de la membrana otolítica y los impulsos son transmitidos vía el NERVIO VESTIBULAR al TRONCO ENCEFÁLICO. Las células ciliadas del sáculo y del utrículo son sensibles a la aceleración lineal vertical y horizontal, respectivamente.

Scope note: Sensory cells in the acoustic maculae with their apical STEREOCILIA embedded in a gelatinous OTOLITHIC MEMBRANE. These hair cells are stimulated by the movement of otolithic membrane, and impulses are transmitted via the VESTIBULAR NERVE to the BRAIN STEM. Hair cells in the saccule and those in the utricle sense linear acceleration in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively.
