The scala media belongs to the membranous portion of the internal ear and is, therefore, filled with the endolymph.    From Wordnik.com.  [Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools] Reference

The flux, or tendency to flux, which then appears in the endolymph of the semi-circular canals produces the reaction.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1914 - Presentation] Reference

When, therefore, the perilymph is shaken it communicates the impulse to the fluid (endolymph) contained in the inner membranous bag.    From Wordnik.com.  [A Practical Physiology] Reference

He established an unquestionable connection between specifically directed head and eye movements of the animal with specifically directed movements of the endolymph in the semi-circular canals.    From Wordnik.com.  [Robert Bárány - Nobel Lecture] Reference

Flourens's experiments with pigeons with improved technique and came directly to the conviction that movement of the fluid in the semi-circular canals, the endolymph, gave rise to the Flourens phenomena.    From Wordnik.com.  [Robert Bárány - Nobel Lecture] Reference

He then set himself the task of establishing the site of the central mechanism governing the movements of the eyes, the nystagmus already referred to, which is set in motion by the movement of the endolymph.    From Wordnik.com.  [Robert Bárány - Nobel Lecture] Reference

The theory of the reaction was now established and it agreed absolutely with the theory of both Breuer and Mach which had recognized the movements of the endolymph, the fluid contained in the semi-circular canals, as being the cause of stimulation in them.    From Wordnik.com.  [Robert Bárány - Nobel Lecture] Reference

The decisive factor was the temperature of the syringing fluid and it was soon also clear that the phenomenon, the so-called caloric reaction, proceeded from the semi-circular canals, in which the endolymph increases in specific gravity with cooling, showing a tendency to sink, whereas with warming the specific gravity decreases and the fluid shows a tendency to rise.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1914 - Presentation] Reference

It is divided into three sections: the endolymph -- a fluid high in potassium.    From Wordnik.com.  [Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]] Reference

When soundwaves cause fluctuations in the oval window, this causes waves in the endolymph which cause the cilia to tip over.    From Wordnik.com.  [Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]] Reference

The membranous labyrinth contains fluid, the endolymph, and on its walls the ramifications of the acoustic nerve are distributed.    From Wordnik.com.  [X. The Organs of the Senses and the Common Integument. 1d. 4. The Internal Ear or Labyrinth] Reference

The cavity of this membranous labyrinth is filled with a fluid, the endolymph; and within the utriculus, sacculus and lagena are masses of inorganic matter called the otoliths.    From Wordnik.com.  [Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1 Containing Sixteen Experimental Investigations from the Harvard Psychological Laboratory.] Reference

The whole of the labyrinth is membranous, and contains a fluid, the endolymph; between the membranous wall of the labyrinth and the enclosing bone is a space containing the perilymph.    From Wordnik.com.  [Text Book of Biology, Part 1: Vertebrata] Reference

The sensory hair cells are disturbed by the movements of the otoliths in the endolymph, and thus an impulse is originated in the auditory nerve which results in a sensation more or less resembling our auditory sensation.    From Wordnik.com.  [Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1 Containing Sixteen Experimental Investigations from the Harvard Psychological Laboratory.] Reference

When, as a consequence of the rapid whirling movements, a great part of the endolymph is hurled into the scala tympani, the organ of Corti in the scala vestibuli is fixed and its parts are rendered incapable of vibration.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Dancing Mouse A Study in Animal Behavior] Reference

Physiological nystagmus can be induced by stimulating the movement of the endolymph in the semicircular canals, by syringing the ear with hot and cold water (caloric test), by rotating the individual (rotation test), and by the galvanic current.    From Wordnik.com.  [Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck.

Two small rounded bodies termed otoconia, each consisting of a mass of minute crystalline grains of carbonate of lime, held together in a mesh of gelatinous tissue, are suspended in the endolymph in contact wish the free ends of the hairs projecting from the maculæ.    From Wordnik.com.  [X.

Kishi points out, should such pressure differences be proved to exist, the functional disturbance in the organ of hearing which the lack of responses to sounds seems to indicate might better be ascribed to them than to the streaming of the endolymph from the canals into the cochlea as assumed by.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Dancing Mouse A Study in Animal Behavior] Reference

If, as has been supposed by some physiologists, the stria vasculosa is really the source of the endolymph, this state of affairs must have a marked influence on the functions of the auditory apparatus and the static apparatus, for pressure differences between the endolymph and the perilymph spaces must be present.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Dancing Mouse A Study in Animal Behavior] Reference

(f.o.), into which latter the end of the stapes fits, and so communicates the sound vibrations of the tympanic membrane to the endolymph.    From Wordnik.com.  [Text Book of Biology, Part 1: Vertebrata] Reference
