Observations on saccules of rats exposed to long-term hypergravity

摘要: The saccules of 15 centrifuged rats and control were examined for morphological alterations resulting from long-term exposure to hypergravity. Minimal changes found confined the otolithic membrane. They a slight decrease in overall volume membrane, redistribution otoconia direction gravitational force, more pronounced 'accessory' These interpreted as purely mechanical effects hypergravity, causing accelerated displacement subsequent entrapment some them on inferior portions primary membrane
