The word "perilymph" in example sentences

The outer portion is surrounded by a membrane which serves as periosteum to the bone and, at the same time, holds the liquid belonging to this part, called the perilymph. ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)

Between the bony walls of the passages and the membranous bag inside is a thin, clear fluid, the _perilymph_. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

Every time the stirrup bone is pushed in and drawn out of the oval window, the watery fluid (the perilymph) in the vestibule and inner ear is set in motion more or less violently, according to the intensity of the sound. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

When, therefore, the perilymph is shaken it communicates the impulse to the fluid (endolymph) contained in the inner membranous bag. ❋ Albert F. Blaisdell (N/A)

These are cavities hollowed out of the substance of the bone, and lined by periosteum; they contain a clear fluid, the perilymph, in which the membranous labyrinth is situated. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The osseous labyrinth is lined by an exceedingly thin fibro-serous membrane; its attached surface is rough and fibrous, and closely adherent to the bone; its free surface is smooth and pale, covered with a layer of epithelium, and secretes a thin, limpid fluid, the perilymph. ❋ Unknown (1918)

—The membranous labyrinth is lodged within the bony cavities just described, and has the same general form as these; it is, however, considerably smaller, and is partly separated from the bony walls by a quantity of fluid, the perilymph. ❋ Unknown (1918)

If, as has been supposed by some physiologists, the stria vasculosa is really the source of the endolymph, this state of affairs must have a marked influence on the functions of the auditory apparatus and the static apparatus, for pressure differences between the endolymph and the perilymph spaces must be present. ❋ Robert M. Yerkes (1916)

The whole of the labyrinth is membranous, and contains a fluid, the endolymph; between the membranous wall of the labyrinth and the enclosing bone is a space containing the perilymph. ❋ Unknown (1906)

If the vibrations of the perilymph have originated from a sound with a high enough pitch, it will cause a vibration in the basilar and vestibular membrane in the scala vestibuli. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

The scala vestibuli reaches to the tip of the cochlea where it connects to another tube called the scala tympani, which also contains perilymph, via a junction celled helicotrema. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

The original sound vibrations, have now been converted through the tympanic membrane, vibrated the auditory ossicles, traveled through the oval window, and are being sent down the perilymph in the inner ear. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

The oval window leads to the scala vestibuli, a tube filled with a fluid called perilymph. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

In order to control for a cochlear perilymph specific response, we compared unstimulated PBMC, to cochlear perilymph stimulated PBMC, and pneumococcal stimulated PBMC, from both AIED and control patients. ❋ Andrea Vambutas Et Al. (2009)

To test this hypothesis, we examined end-stage AIED patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery and compared autologous perilymph stimulated PBMC from AIED patients to controls. ❋ Andrea Vambutas Et Al. (2009)

Stimulus conditions were no stimulus (white bar), pneumococcal stimulus (grey bar) or autologous cochlear perilymph (black bar). ❋ Andrea Vambutas Et Al. (2009)

Microarray results for AIED and control subjects were analyzed by comparing unstimulated PBMC, with autologous perilymph stimulated, and pneumococcal stimulated, PBMC (figure 1A). ❋ Andrea Vambutas Et Al. (2009)

For this reason, we compared the effect of adding autologous perilymph to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with AIED who underwent cochlear implantation (end stage disease) compared to PBMC from patients undergoing implantation for longstanding, non-immunologic, stable, SNHL (hereafter called controls) using RNA expression microarray analysis. ❋ Andrea Vambutas Et Al. (2009)

We are also examining the perilymph of these patients to ascertain whether it is the cytokine microenvironment, or the presence of a unique protein or autoantigen found in perilymph that is inducing differential IL1R2 expression in perilymph from AIED and controls. ❋ Unknown (2009)
