检查 10 条标准长度（标准长度为 13.5-26 厘米）蟾蜍（Opsanus tau）的球囊（5 条雌性，5 条雄性）的毛细胞定向模式的个体/性别差异。此外，将两只幼鱼（标准长度为 5 和 6 厘米）的球囊与成体的球囊进行比较，以确定毛细胞方向是否存在成熟差异。毛细胞的定向模式与之前报道的该物种或其同系物 O. beta 的任何报道都不同。雄性和雌性、青少年和成体之间的毛细胞方向没有重大差异。感觉上皮特定区域中朝向特定方向的毛细胞的比例存在轻微的个体差异。我们讨论了这种毛细胞定向模式对发育和听觉处理的潜在影响。
Saccules from 10 adult (five female, five male) toadfish (Opsanus tau), 13.5-26 cm standard length, were examined for individual/sexual variation in the hair cell orientation pattern. In addition, sac cules from two juveniles (5 and 6 cm standard length) were compared with those of the adults to determine whether maturational differences exist in the hair cell orientations. The hair cell orientation pattern is unlike any reported previously for this species or its congener, O. beta. There are no major differences between the hair cell orientations of males and females, nor between the juveniles and the adults. A slight individual variation is present in the proportion of hair cells oriented in a particular direction in a specific area of the sensory epithelium. Potential ramifications of this hair cell orientation pattern are discussed with regard to development and auditory processing.
