CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Accession:UBERON:0002824 term browser browse the term
Definition:The ganglion of the vestibular nerve. It contains the cell bodies of the bipolar primary afferent neurons whose peripheral processes form synaptic contact with hair cells of the vestibular sensory end organs[WP,unvetted]. Distributed to the maculae of the utricle and saccule and to the ampullary crests of the semicircular ducts. The vestibular fibers arise in bipolar cells in the vestibular ganglion in the internal acoustic meatus.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Scarpa's ganglion;   vestibular part of vestibulocochlear ganglion;   vestibulocochlear VIII ganglion vestibular component
 related_synonym: nucleus nervi oculomotorii, pars medialis;   vestibulocochlear ganglion vestibular component
