根据表面形态，牛蛙耳石和听觉器官的感觉上皮细胞已鉴定出 6 种毛细胞类型。其中一种类型显然是振动和听觉毛细胞的形态发生前体。另一种类型的动纤毛是最长静纤毛的几倍，显然介导了重力敏感性。第三种类型的球状动纤毛不长于最长的静纤毛，显然介导振动和听觉敏感性。其他类型可能具有多种功能，具体取决于它们的位置。一种建议的功能是作为凝胶状上部结构的锚。
Based on surface morphology, 6 hair cell types have been identified on the sensory epithelia of the bullfrog otolithic and auditory organs. One of these types apparently is the morphogenetic precursor of vibrational and auditory hair cells. Another type, with a kinocilium several times as long as the longest stereocilia, apparently mediates gravistatic sensitivity. A third type, with a bulbed kinocilium no longer than the longest stereocilia, apparently mediates vibrational and auditory sensitivities. The other types may serve a variety of functions, depending on their location. One suggested function is that of an anchor for the gelatinous superstructure.
