The action of this organ is not fully understood. All that can be stated definitely of the action and the manner in which sound impulses are interpreted may be summarized as follows: Summary.— (a) The vibration of the perilymph being commu- nicated to the endolymph through the membrane, sets up in it similar vibrations. These vibrations, in turn, move the hairs of the sensory cells and stimulate the fiber brushes, thus starting Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Eddy, Walter Hollis, b. 1877.
