This fluid, called endolymph, sends signals to the brain about your hearing and balance. |
People with Ménière's disease generally have too much of a certain fluid, called endolymph, in one or both of their inner ears. |
Movement of the head causes the endolymph to flow either toward or away from the cupula. |
Free-moving particles in the endolymph of the canals make the latter sensitive to position changes and produce the symptoms. |
The endolymph and the tiny grains of ear-sand now perform their part in this marvelous and complex mechanism. |
More specifically, these cells maintain the ionic composition of the cochlear endolymph. |
