Using specific antibodies against cardiodilatin/atrial natriuretic peptide (CDD/ANP) in a conventional immuno-histochemical method (PAP) we located ANP/CDD-like immuno-reactive cells related to the secretory area, to the sensory and to the neuronal area in the compartments of the inner ear (cochlea, utricle/ampulla, and endolymphatic sac). Immunoreactive cells were unevenly distributed in the different compartments as well as within the cochlear space. Our findings suggest that ANP/CDD may play a role in the local control of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis of the inner ear. ANP/CDD-binding sites and ANP/CDD-like immunoreactivity in the inner ear may also indicate that the peptide has an additional paracrine and/or autocrine function in the organ.

D007758 Ear, Inner The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012444 Saccule and Utricle Two membranous sacs within the vestibular labyrinth of the INNER EAR. The saccule communicates with COCHLEAR DUCT through the ductus reuniens, and communicates with utricle through the utriculosaccular duct from which the ENDOLYMPHATIC DUCT arises. The utricle and saccule have sensory areas (acoustic maculae) which are innervated by the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
