Question

The influx of Na+ from the scala vestibuli is critical in mechanotransduction to occur in the vestibular system.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The scala vestibuli contain perilymph in which there is a domination of Na+ ion which is K+ in endolymph. endolymph has domination of K+ because they have very large potential as compared to perilymph this is also called endocochlear potential . there is a potential difference of about 150 mV across the stereocillary membranes that drive cations through mechanotransduction channels
