The perilymph fluid wave causes a frequency-specific movement of the basilar membrane. This results in excitation of the corresponding hair cells and the generation of a cochlear nerve impulse.

These waves are then directed toward the tympanic membrane (eardrum), which causes it to vibrate. The vibration passes on to the malleus, incus, and stapes, which leads the perilymph within the ...

There are three fluid-filled chambers within the cochlea (fig 1B). The scala tympani and scala vestibuli contain perilymph, a fluid similar to serum in which the predominant cation is sodium. These ...

2018). Significant inner ear injury occurs when the perilymph oxygen partial pressure decreases by about 20% (Wu et al., 2014). In recent years, with studies of large-scale samples, it is known that ...

Several measurement techniques used in the life sciences gather data for many more variables per sample than the typical number of samples assayed. For instance, DNA microarrays and mass ...

The fluid in the two chambers differs on the basis of the kind of salt that each contains. The fluid in the outer or bony chamber is filled with a sodium salt solution (called perilymph) that ...

Introduction: Exposure to occupational or recreational loud noise activates multiple biological regulatory circuits and damages the cochlea, causing permanent changes in hearing sensitivity. Currently ...
