Hydrodynamic and Acoustic Field Detection

TL;DR: Fishes have an impressive complement of hydrodynamic and acoustic sensors, commonly referred to as the lateral-line and inner-ear sense organs, which are determined mainly by the peripheral structures coupling the ciliary bundles to the physical world that the animals inhabit.
Book ChapterDOI

Psychophysics of Vestibular Sensation

TL;DR: To appreciate this material in relation to daily experiences, it is necessary to consider why vestibular sensations do not typically achieve conscious awareness during natural voluntary head and body movement.
OtherDOI

The Vestibular System

TL;DR: The sections in this article are: Peripheral Receptor Mechanisms, Vestibular Apparatus, Functional Organization, Functional Considerations, and Adaptive Control of Vestibuloocular Reflex.

A Systems Concept of the Vestibular Organs

R. Mayne
TL;DR: This chapter examines the vestibular organs from a systems point of view in an attempt to describe their primary functions as well as the integrated operations of their essential elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theoretical and comparative study of the functional dependence of the semicircular canal upon its physical dimensions.

TL;DR: Measurements of the internal radius (r) and radius of curvature (R) of the endolymphatic canal were made in 87 species, comprising 46 mammals, 17 birds, 17 fishes and 7 reptiles, using specimens, and photographic records of specimens, already available.
