Auditory receptor of the red-eared turtle: I. General ultrastructure

M G Sneary. J Comp Neurol. 1988.

Abstract

The auditory receptor of the red-eared turtle has been the subject of intensive electrophysiological study within the last decade, yet the details of its ultrastructure have remained uninvestigated. In the present report information is derived from an analysis of specimens prepared for light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy. Attention is focused on the ultrastructure of hair cells, supporting cells, and nerve fibers within the sensory epithelium as well as the basilar membrane upon which it rests. A description of the receptor's relations to surrounding sensory epithelia, the limbus of the cochlear duct, and the basilar membrane is also included. Observations are discussed in the light of similar information from other reptilian auditory receptors and the mammalian organ of Corti.
