Explore the ampullary crest, a sensory structure within the vestibular system of the inner ear, through this detailed 3D model. The visualization captures hair cells, supporting cells, and the cupula, illustrating how mechanical forces from head movements are transduced into neural signals. By presenting the spatial arrangement of these structures, the model clarifies the complex microanatomy and function of the vestibular sensory organ, making it easier to study signal detection, balance mechanisms, and sensory integration.
