Abstract:
In order to interpret single-unit responses to auditory stimuli recorded from the eighth nerve of the bullfrog, it was judged necessary to investigate the structure and innervation of the various sensory organs within the otic capsule. The otic capsule is known to contain eight sensory organs: 3 semicircular canals, saccule, utricle, lagena, and the basilar and amphibian papillae. The first six of these structures have been found by other investigators who used behavioral or physiological methods to transduce information about the spatial position and vibrational state of the animal. The remaining organs, the basilar and amphibian papillae, are thought to be auditory in function, both because of their structures and because of their connection to the perilymphatic system. The anatomy and innervation of these two organs are discussed, particularly in relation to their possible function as auditory transducers.
