Morphology of the utricular recess in the sprat
A. C. G. Best, J. A. B. Gray · Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom · 1980
In the sprat the utricular receptors are closely associated with the bullae, structures which convert pressures into liquid displacements, and with other structures concerned with detecting vibrating sources. This paper considers morphological features which relate to questions of mechanical coupling between utriculus and bulla, and of the number and orientation of the receptors.
