Perilymphatic and endolymphatic PO2. Variations during anoxia, hyperoxia, and hypercapnia. 1982

J Prazma

Cochlear microcirculation was studied with oxygen-sensitive microelectrodes simultaneously in all three scalas during anoxia, hyperoxia, and hypercapnia. The anoxia caused a sharp decline of Po2 in the scala media (SM), scala vestibuli (SV), and scala tympani (ST). Hyperoxia and hypercapnia resulted in an elevation of Po2 in all three scalas. During anoxia, the SM showed the earliest and largest decline in Po2, with the shortest recovery and reoxygenation time. When Po2 slopes (during anoxia) were compared, the SM to ST and the SM to SV were substantially different and remained different even when the partial pressures of oxygen quantified as oxygen in nanomoles. Our experiments also showed that changes in Po2 within the SM closely correlate with changes of endocochlear potential and BP.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007761	Labyrinthine Fluids	Fluids found within the osseous labyrinth (PERILYMPH) and the membranous labyrinth (ENDOLYMPH) of the inner ear. (From Gray's Anatomy, 30th American ed, p1328, 1332)	Fluid, Labyrinthine,Fluids, Labyrinthine,Labyrinthine Fluid
D010100	Oxygen	An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration.	Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010498	Perilymph	The fluid separating the membranous labyrinth from the osseous labyrinth of the ear. It is entirely separate from the ENDOLYMPH which is contained in the membranous labyrinth. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1396, 642)	Perilymphs
D003051	Cochlea	The part of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is concerned with hearing. It forms the anterior part of the labyrinth, as a snail-like structure that is situated almost horizontally anterior to the VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH.	Cochleas
D003053	Cochlear Duct	A spiral tube that is firmly suspended in the bony shell-shaped part of the cochlea. This ENDOLYMPH-filled cochlear duct begins at the vestibule and makes 2.5 turns around a core of spongy bone (the modiolus) thus dividing the PERILYMPH-filled spiral canal into two channels, the SCALA VESTIBULI and the SCALA TYMPANI.

D004710	Endolymph	The lymph fluid found in the membranous labyrinth of the ear. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)	Endolymphs
D005071	Evoked Potentials	Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

D006935	Hypercapnia	A clinical manifestation of abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.
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.
