    Function

    • Hearing: Cochlear duct: fluid waves in the endolymph of the cochlear duct stimulate the receptor cells, which in turn translate their movement into nerve impulses that the brain perceives as sound.
    • Balance: Semicircula… See more

    Clinical significance

    Disruption of the endolymph due to jerky movements (like spinning around or driving over bumps while riding in a car) can cause motion sickness. A condition where the volume of the endolymph is greatly enlarged is … See more

    What is the ionic composition of endolymph?
    Endolymph is relatively similar in ionic composition to cytoplasm: it is high in K+ (∼150 mM), low in Na + (∼2 mM), and relatively low in Ca 2+ (∼100 µM). Endolymph may have evolved to remove from hair cells the energy expenditure required as a consequence of ion entry into hair cells.
