Figure 4.
Charge and peak densities are inversely related to the area of the lateral wall for for OHCs obtained from the adult male guinea pig. (a) The charge and (b) peak density shown with respect to the length of the lateral wall. The length of the lateral wall was determined by dividing ALW by 2πr. (c) Cartoon showing voltage-dependent charge density along the lateral wall where the color-code indicates charge density; maximum in the middle, and decays inversely with area toward the apex and base.
