Fine Art Print : Inner ear balance sensing, SEM
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Inner ear balance sensing, SEM
Inner ear balance sensing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bundles of cilia (hair cells, yellow) and otoliths (round, red) in the human inner ear. The cilia and otoliths detect directional movement, such as the tilting of the head. They are immersed in a fluid, called the endolymph. Currents in this fluid displace the position of the cilia and otoliths, triggering nerve impulses that are sent to the brain through the vestibular nerve

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate inner workings of the human inner ear. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a magnified view of bundles of cilia, represented in vibrant yellow, and otoliths, depicted as round red structures. These delicate hair cells and otoliths play a crucial role in our sense of balance and spatial orientation. Immersed within a fluid known as the endolymph, these sensory receptors detect even the slightest directional movements, such as tilting our heads. As currents flow through this fluid medium, they displace the position of both cilia and otoliths. This displacement triggers nerve impulses that swiftly travel along the vestibular nerve to reach our brain. The complexity and precision exhibited by these microscopic subjects is truly awe-inspiring. The false-coloured image allows us to appreciate their beauty while simultaneously delving into their physiological significance within our bodies. This SEM snapshot not only offers an insight into biology but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected various anatomical components are in enabling us to perceive our surroundings accurately. It highlights just one aspect of the vast wonders hidden within ourselves – an organ responsible for maintaining equilibrium: our balance organ or vestibular sense.
