Anterior–posterior extent of cristae and maculae in E13 normal and ARO chicks with sac (μm ± SEM)
Inner ear type | Superior crista | Posterior crista | Lateral crista | Macula utriculi | Macula sacculi |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Normal inner ear n = 10 |
365 ± 32 | 316 ± 28 | 295 ± 25 | 790 ± 33 | 423 ± 10 |
ARO chick, left inner ear n = 8 |
368 ± 129 | 346 ± 90 | 290 ± 35 | 708 ± 46 | 369 ± 40 |
ARO chick, right inner ear (sac) n = 8 |
153* ± 72 | 236 ± 105 | 238 ± 113 | 544* ± 143 | 446 ± 142 |
Significant difference from normal is indicated by * (P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD posttest). Superior crista, ARO right: F(2, 23) = 11.82, P = 0.00069; macula utriculi, ARO right: F(2, 23) = 12.19, P = 0.00017
