what is the ductur reuniens?
the utricle communicates with the saccule through which duct?
this duct gives rise to a side branch,. name it.
this side branch emerges from the bestibular aqueduct as what structure and contains what?
what is maculae?
macuale contains mechanoreceptice hair cells, they are innervated by what erve? what information do they convey?

what is maculae?
macuale contains mechanoreceptice hair cells, they are innervated by what erve? what information do they convey?
The saccule is continuous with the cochlear duct via the ductus reuniens
utriculosaccular duct,
the endolymphatic duct
The endolymphatic duct emerges from the vestibular aqueduct as the endolymphatic sac, a small reservoir for excess endolymph
The utricle and saccule both contain specialised areas of sensory epithelium called maculae.
Mechanoreceptive hair cells in these areas are innervated by the vestibular nerve, and convey
sensations of centrifugal and vertical acceleration from the utricle, and linear acceleration
from the saccule.
