Descriptor English: Hair Cells, Ampulla
Descriptor Spanish: Células Ciliadas Ampollares
Descriptor células ciliadas ampulares
Entry term(s) células ciliadas de la cresta ampular
Scope note: Células sensoriales de la cresta ampular de cada uno de los conductos semicirculares cuyos ESTEREOCILIOS apicales están embebidos en una cúpula gelatinosa en forma de cuña. Estas células ciliadas son sensibles al movimiento de la ENDOLINFA producido por la aceleración angular de la cabeza y envían señales, vía el NERVIO VESTIBULAR, al cerebro para mantener el equilibrio.

Scope note: Sensory cells in the ampullary crest of each of the semicircular ducts, with their apical STEREOCILIA embedded in a wedge-shaped gelatinous cupula. These hair cells sense the movement of ENDOLYMPH resulting from angular acceleration of the head, and send signals via the VESTIBULAR NERVE to the brain to maintain balance.

Scope note Sensory cells in the ampullary crest of each of the semicircular ducts, with their apical STEREOCILIA embedded in a wedge-shaped gelatinous cupula. These hair cells sense the movement of ENDOLYMPH resulting from angular acceleration of the head, and send signals via the VESTIBULAR NERVE to the brain to maintain balance.
