Sensory Hair Cells of the Inner Ear (IMAGE)
Caption
Sensory hair cells of the mouse inner ear stained with phalloidin to highlight actin-rich structures called stereocilia, which are arranged in bundles forming the mechanosensory organelle of the inner ear sensory cells. Three rows of outer hair cells (top) and a single row of inner hair cells (bottom) are visible, illustrating the precise cellular organization required for sound detection.
