Vestibular Anatomy & Function NBIO 401 – Monday November 4, 2013

Objectives: -Be able to describe the structure of the two components of the vestibular system, the semicircular canals and the otoliths. -Be able explain how the structure of the semicircular canals and the position and orientation of the hair cells in the ampulla allow the canals to transduce head rotation into neural signals. -Be able explain how the structure of the otoliths and the position and orientation of the hair cells in the saccule and utricle transduce head tilt and linear acceleration into neural signals. -Be able to describe the pathway from the vestibular labyrinth in the periphery to the vestibular nuclei, including the locations of neuron cell bodies and axon terminations.

Central Connections of the Vestibular Labyrinth

Pathway from the canals and otoliths to the brain is via axons whose cell bodies are in a ganglion (called Scarpa’s ganglion or the vestibular ganglion).

Normally, the cupula has neutral buoyancy in endolymph that surrounds it. Alcohol is less dense than water (see demo to right). When you drink, alcohol enters the blood, and then into the cupula. The cupula becomes less dense. It floats in the endolymph more. The cupula bends a little more than usual away from the ground. This bends hair cells, as if you are rotating, even when you are still. This gives you the sensation of rotating when you are still, i.e., you get the dreaded spins. Alcohol and Dizziness Blue H 2 O cubes float in water (left) but sink in alcohol (right)
