Examples of utricle
utricle
An utricle is like an achene, but it has a compound ovary, sometimes with several seeds.

In vertebrates the saccule and utricle together make the otolith organs.

The saccule and utricle, in turn, together make the otolith organs.

In mice lacking the otoconia of the utricle and saccule, this retained acoustic sensitivity is lost.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Vestibular hair cells are stimulated by movement of fluid in the semicircular canals and the utricle and saccule.

Also shows the utricle and saccule organs that are responsible for detecting linear acceleration, or movement in a straight line.

In mammals, otoliths are small particles, composed of a combination of a gelatinous matrix and calcium carbonate in the viscous fluid of the saccule and utricle.

- A small pouch into which the semicircular canals open
- The utricle, or utriculus, along with the saccule is one of the two otolith organs located in the vertebrate inner ear. These use small stones and a viscous fluid to stimulate hair cells to detect motion and orientation.
- An achene (also sometimes referred to as "akene" and occasionally "achenium" or "achenocarp") is a type of simple dry fruit produced by many species of flowering plants. Achenes are monocarpellate (formed from one carpel) and (they do not open at maturity). ...
- A dry, thin-walled fruit with a free single seed.
- A small bladder; a membranous bladder-like sac enclosing an ovary or fruit.
- Sac-like inner ear organ containing otoliths; senses forward, backward, and side-to-side motion of the head.
- Mostly dry, dehiscent or indehiscent fruit from a generally compound pistil in which a balloon- or bladder-like ovary wall loosely encloses (or, in some Amaranthaceae, is adherent to) a single seed.
- That part of the inner ear containing the receptors for dynamic body balance; the semicircular canals lead from and to the utricle.
- One of the two fluid-filled sacs in the cochlea separated by the basilar membrane.
