Anatomy

2. this neurotransmitter is released by hair cells at base
5. connect to the top of shorter stereocilia to insertion plaques on the side of taller neighbor
8. motor protein in OHCs
10. plays significant role in BM fine tuning and reverse transduction
12. deflect away from kinocilia
13. basic difference in voltage
16. membrane that is not tonotopically organized
17. reticular lamina rests on top of HC bodies
18. moves in the opposite direction as the hair cell bodies
19. membrane that is tonotopically organized
20. part of the labyrinth that is lined with periosteum

1. anion moves towards the inside of membrane, shortening prestin molecule
3. either + OR - voltage depending on frequency and intensity of stimulus
4. housed in petrous portion of temporal bone
6. deflects towards kinocilia
7. produced by the stria vascularis
9. elongating of prestin molecule happens when this happens
11. insertion plaques can move under the control of this
14. responses at high intensities for frequencies below characteristic frequency
15. fluid filled labyrinth location for sensory receptor cells
