Development of the Otocyst and Associated Parts. In tlie pre-ceding chapter we look ii]) the fonriation of the otocyst and theorigin of the endolymphatic duct. The latter is at first an apicaloutgrowth from the otocyst, but its attachment soon becomesshifted to the median side of the otocyst, owing to the expansionof the dorsal external wall of thelatter (Fig. 167). Three divisionsof the otocyst may now be (hstin-guished: (a) ductus endolymphaticusor recessus labyrinthi; (b) pars su-]jeii()r l;il)yriiithi; (r) pais inferi(n-labyiintlii. The boundary l)etweenthe two latter is rather indistinctlyindicated at this stage by a shallowgroove on the median face of theotocyst. The development of theseparts may now ])e followed separately.
