  • Title: [Ultrastructure of the stria vascularis of the auricular labyrinth of the rabbit].
    Author: Lantsov AA.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1975 Nov; 69(11):94-7. PubMed ID: 1212111.
    Abstract:
    In the composition of the stria vascularis of the rabbit cochlea there are three types of cells: edging, medial and basal cells. The structure of these cells, their disposition and interrelationships within the stria vascularis are described. The nodes of the basal membrane whose ramification covers long mitichondria concentrating at the basement of edging cells are found in the structure of capillaries of the cochlea stria vascularis. It may be supposed that this powerful mitochondrial apparatus refers to the capillary system of the stria vascularis and represents a hypertrophic mitochondrial apparatus of pericytes. The capillaries of the stria vascularis are distributed mainly in longitudinal direction while the capillaries disposed transversely which are likely to be anastomoses were also found.
