Statolith

Statolith

Statolith

Statoliths, otoliths, otokonia or statoconia are microscopically small granules up to several centimeters of solid material, found in single cells and in the position and equilibrium organs of many other living organisms. Through their inert mass and their weight, they enable the organism to perceive accelerations and the direction of gravity. The term otolith refers, on the one hand, to the fact that these structures are located in the inner ear during vertebral plexus, on the other hand, they serve the sense of hearing in many fishes. Otokonia in the strict sense is the biominerals of mammals made of calcium carbonate. Statitas can be freely movable in multiple cells in statocysts, or they can be attached to the hairs of sense cells. Pressure, tensile and shearing forces are perceived. The reflexes triggered by the gravity-sense organs lead to the living being able to maintain its normal position in space. Statolithen, Otolithen, Otokonien oder Statoconia sind mikroskopisch kleine Körnchen bis mehrere Zentimeter große Steine aus festem Material, die in Einzellern und in den Lage- und Gleichgewichtsorganen vieler anderer Lebewesen gefunden werden. Durch ihre träge Masse und ihre Gewichtskraft ermöglichen sie dem Organismus, Beschleunigungen und die Richtung der Schwerkraft wahrzunehmen. Die Bezeichnung Otolith bezieht sich einerseits darauf, dass sich diese Gebilde bei Wirbeltieren im Innenohr befinden, andererseits dienen sie bei vielen Fischen dem Hörsinn. Als Otokonien im engeren Sinne bezeichnet man die aus Kalziumkarbonat bestehenden Biominerale bei Säugetieren. Statolithen können bei Mehrzellern in Statozysten frei beweglich liegen, oder sie können an den Härchen von Sinneszellen befestigt sein. Dabei werden Druck-, Zug- und Scherkräfte wahrgenommen. Die Reflexe, die durch die Schwere-Sinnesorgane ausgelöst werden, führen dazu, dass das Lebewesen seine Normallage im Raum aufrechterhalten kann.
